Harriet received a PhD in Drama from the University of Birmingham, UK in 2019. Her thesis examines the relationship between theatre design education, design and scenography practice and emergent professional identities of theatre designers by reconstructing the curriculum and pedagogy of the Motley Theatre Design Course, using visual and object elicitation research methods.

Harriet’s research interests are the formation and development of professional identities, explored through creative research methods, including photo and object elicitation, and art.
