In this episode we explore the personal journeys and professional breakthroughs of two academics who are also involved in visual arts and crafts. Dr Rob Grieve (Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy at UWE Bristol) unpacks his journey initially as a cartoonist to printmaking/painting, and finding the balance between enjoying recognition and creating art for its own sake. Dr Harriet Shortt (Associate Professor in Organisation Studies, at UWE Bristol’s Faculty of Business and Law) explains the transition of her quilting activities from a deeply personal way of processing her PhD to boldly integrating visual methods into her academic life.

You can find out more about Rob’s art on his Instagram account: www.instagram.com/robgrieveart/, and about Harriet’s art and research, on her blog: www.harrietshortt.wordpress.com/.

What happens if you get the chance to transform your serious leisure into a full time career change? Would you take the leap? In this episode we hear from Sara Hale, Deputy Head of Law in her final weeks at UWE Bristol. Sara tells us about leaving her academic role to become a full time netball coach. But can we still recharge through activities if they become our full time job? Be inspired by Sara’s story in this unique episode where we take a deep dive into the liminal space where work and leisure blur.
