Gillian's role does not have a direct research component but her main interests include:
Gillian is currently working on sustaining the ACTOR community of practice, remembering to update her blog and trying not to eat too much chocolate. In her spare time she likes music, dancing (qualified to teach), comedy, vampires, mythology, shakespeare, movies and pie.
Oh, and chocolate.
