About
My research project
I am undertaking research for my PhD which explores professional-client interactions in the care of horses at risk of or diagnosed with laminitis. The study adopts an ethnographic approach using mixed methods for collecting and analysing data, including grounded theory and discourse analyses. I am particularly interested in how professional conversations, in the care of horses, are similar and different to conversations in other professional healthcare contexts, and what this might reveal about the social practices which are involved.
