Current research
For her PhD, “Elucidating perceptions of ageing through participatory drawing”, Curie’s The major contributions included a novel drawing methodology and analytical tool underpinned by phenomenography. She found that engaging with intuitive and generative mark-making helped people move from habit-driven ways of thinking to embodied and transformational thinking. This has enabled her to provide consultancy using her generative drawing process for organisational development, coaching conversations, research writing and academic resilience. She has produced a white paper on “The DNA of Personal Effectiveness” and designed a research mentoring scheme for Knowledge Exchange.
As a Health humanities scholar, Curie is on the Advisory Board of the International Health Humanities Network and has produced online resources such as Research Method space interview on phenomenography. Her commissioned research-based book, ‘Drawing for Health and Wellbeing’ is part of an ‘Arts for Health’ book series and brings drawing research directly to the public. Currently, Curie is writing up PhD findings as several chapters and articles as well as co-editing a drawing for health book for researchers and practitioners and co-authoring a book on drawing for graphic facilitation.
