Collaboration is at the heart of Stella’s work. If you’re interested in thinking, writing, or presenting together, please get in touch.
Stella’s current areas of interest are referral practices, the application of emerging critical perspectives on disability within music therapy, embedding understandings of social justice and systemic oppression into practice, and the sharing of music therapy content in the public domain.
Stella also offers guest lectures for secondary and higher education settings, peer review services, guest examination, and is enthusiastic about mentoring first-time writers.
