Dr Angélica Cabezas Pino joined the Storytelling Academy at Loughborough University in 2020 as Research Associate. She has conducted research with people living with HIV in Chile, with refugee women in emergency settings in Bangladesh and Jordan, among others. In the UK, she has worked with women artists with experiences of displacement, and with queer communities to explore gender performativity.

The Storytelling Research Team in the School of Design and Creative Arts at Loughborough University consists of four academics and an administrator. Working on a range of inter-disciplinary projects with a variety of methodologies, the team seeks to understand how storytelling, and digital storytelling in particular, can be used as a means of exploring personal, policy, health and social justice, and environmental issues.
