Dr Eliott Rooke

Eliott is a socio-cultural geographer with interests in affect, emobidment, and skilled performance. His research seeks to understand how disruption occurs across more-than-human bodies and skilled ecologies. During his PhD, Eliott worked with skilled atheletes to explore how disruptive encounters were artificially created in controlled settings to cultivate resilence in performances. These ideas have since informed discussions ranging from student welfare to interplantary exploration.

Eliott has also produced work on teaching in Higher Education, specifically focusing on academic  conduct and the rise of new technologies.

Prior to joining the department, Eliott worked alongisde the University of Exeter's Wellbeing Services to provide peer-to-peer welfare support to students.
