Lizzie Merrill is a Research Fellow in Cancer Care in the School of Health Sciences. Her fellowship explores inequalities in cancer care among marginalised groups, aiming to identify, understand, and address these disparities.

Lizzie’s academic background is interdisciplinary, with a BA in Fine Art and an MSt in Women’s Studies. Her research interests include the lived experiences of people with cancer, art-based interventions, and interdisciplinary feminist methodologies.

She recently completed her PhD at the University of York, where she developed and applied a new creative visual method - Photofantasy, inspired by the artist Jo Spence - to explore and express individuals’ experiences of cancer.
