Dr Javeria Shah

"I am an academic and educationalist driven by the pursuit of social justice. I manage and teach on a range of areas at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, where I am also Equality and Inclusion Specialist. My work is interdisciplinary and aligns with the visual arts, sociology, policy, and education fields. My research draws on person centred methodologies that incorporate visual anthropology and narrative approaches to interrogate and re-conceptualise societal positioning(s) of the individual and their self-identity formation. In 2018 I set up the Social Performance Network which is a research and practice orientated platform that aims to extend focus on issues surrounding socialisation and its “performance” and enactment in social world contexts."
