University of Exeter researcher Dr Sarah Bell has been awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize. Dr Bell is a Senior Lecture in Health Geography at the University of Exeter’s European Centre for Environment and Human Health.

Dr Sarah Bell will receive £100,000 from the Leverhulme Trust towards her research, which concerns disability, wellbeing, and the physical, social and cultural environments throughout the life course.

A total of 30 prizes were awarded to researches, all in early stages of their careers, in the fields of Archaeology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Geography, Languages and Literature.

Dr Bell said her “work has challenged the ableist assumptions that often underpin prominent discourses around nature and wellbeing while developing collaborative opportunities to curate new disability-led nature narratives and encounters.”
