Louisa joins ResDance for a second episode and shares insight into her PhD research through discussing her research processes and considerations.

Sharing honest reflections on her PhD journey thus far, Louisa explores her identity and positionality as a researcher and her ongoing experience of importantly finding the confidence to staking a claim as a dance researcher.
