DR CHRISTOPHER ELSEY
Dr Christopher Elsey
Methodologically my research primarily utilises video recordings to investigate work-place practices, activities and sites of learning, informed by the sociological research traditions of ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and symbolic interactionism.
The worksite settings analysed to date include medical consultations (e.g. GP, Memory Clinics), air force communication and military inquiries, and an educational setting for adults with learning difficulties.
My current research focused on professional sport, mental health and media discourses.

PETER D. WINTER
A sociologist of science and technology (STS), I am interested in the social study of medical imaging/interpretation, the emergence of new technologies in healthcare (including Artificial Intelligence), the Sociology of health, illness and medicine and the use of video in qualitative research. My current role is Research Associate on the Wellcome Trust funded project ‘AI in the clinic’ in the Department of Infection, Immunity, and Cardiovascular Disease (IICD) at the University of Sheffield.
I have previously undertaken research on the provision of mental health support for medical students funded by the General Medical Council (GMC). I continue my interest in the study of mental health by engaging in the analysis of data acquired from professional sport contexts.

LEANNE BILLINGTON
Hello! My name is Leanne and I am currently a Health Studies graduate from DMU. I hope to become a counsellor for children at schools. After graduating I used my spare time to help Chris with his interesting research! Not so long ago, I did a dissertation on gaming and how it effects children and young people. I am a gamer which is why I am so interested and passionate about gaming. I mainly play League of Legends (LoL) at the moment in which I am a support main trying to get to gold and above! I also play The Sims 4 as I find this a more relaxing game compared to LoL. Besides, my love for gaming I also enjoy collecting crystals, doing tarot/oracle readings and learning about crystal healing.
