This week we’ll be getting to know the Interfaith Childhoods team!
Today meet Christine Horn!
Christine is a Research Associate with the Interfaith Childhoods project currently living on Wurundjeri land, Christine does amazing work on data analysis and drafting publications for the project. Christine completed her PhD in 2015 on a project related to work with ethnographic photographs in Malaysia.
We asked Christine a few questions:
How long have you been involved with Interfaith Childhoods?
“I started working with the team in 2019 in time to take part in some of the arts workshops in Fitzroy.”
Have you always been a researcher?
“I was a graphic designer before doing my PhD, and I got into research work after teaching graphic design at a university for a few years.”
Is there one experience from the project that’s really interested you?
“I love the work with the children’s art including the workshops but also analysing the artwork and reading about methodological approaches to working with children using arts-based practices.”
What are you reading?
“I’ve just started reading Deleuze and Guattari’s ‘What is Philosophy?’ for the first time. Yesterday I also read ‘The Tickle Monster’ and ‘The hungry dragon’ (I have a two-year-old child).”
