Her past projects involving the use of songwriting to understand issues of social importance include the AHRC-funded project Fields of Green, which investigated the environmental impact of music festivals and the relationship of artists, audiences, and live music organisers in addressing this. Her writing on songwriting has been included in the Cambridge Companion to the Singer-Songwriter, Bloomsbury’s Singer- Songwriter Handbook, and Cambridge University Press’s Popular Music Journal, among many others.
She is also a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (performing under the name Jo Mango).
