During Covid 19 Jess’s desk is currently the kitchen table which also doubled as a home-school (for 2 gold star pupils!) and construction site office.
One of the many research projects Jess has been involved in is ‘The Clothes on Our Back’ a joint project with the Diversity Lewes focused on developing inclusion in HE using the khanga archive at Brighton Museum which they are now seeking further funding to take it forward.
“I to relax by taking long walks on the beautiful Sussex Downs and by the sea with my family and Boris the pug who belongs to one of my PhD students. While they hit the books, we hit the beach with Boris!”
