Farrukh uses ‘Transformative Life Writing’ to create interactive spaces that open up the potential for active participation and deep learning. This includes developing curricula that enhances students’ emotional intelligence, increasing their insight into themselves and their ability to relate to others.
Her projects include poster exhibitions: ‘Stories into Social Work’ that highlighted ordinary professionals leading extraordinary careers, ‘Unsung Heroes’: staff and students who made a quiet but profound contribution.
Farrukh also introduced a ten-week university-wide ‘Replenish project’ to promote happiness, resilience and community; inspiring the use of creative life writing by introducing ghazals, ….and creating the first ever Kingston University communal ghazal.
