Representation Matters
A research project with The University of Manchester, 2026

A selection of images from the resource, being piloted this year.
I have been part of a research project gathering information around barriers associated with disability and race within the assessment process at the University.
The workshops over the last few months have been spaces to surface issues for students and staff around assessments, to then consider solutions to increase retention and attainment.
I'm working as part of the creative team capturing information from the sessions and interpretating the findings into illustrations for the final design.
There have been such rich conversations and openness from those taking part which has revealed key ideas and actions that could be implemented in assessment processes over the three faculties at the University.
