Research
Carole is currently leading Growing in Friendship, a project of the University of Aberdeen’s Centre for Spirituality, Health and Disability. The project is a piece of participative research based in Lyn’s House Cambridge, a Christian community of people with and without intellectual disabilities. Members of the community will be involved conducting the research, which investigates the experience and impact of belonging to Lyn’s House and how this might be replicated in other settings - universities in particular. Carole is also a member of the Von Hügel Institute’s research project Disability and Knowledge in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame’s Rome Global Gateway.
