Research

Dr Griffiths’ recent work has been focused on research and public engagement history projects in the Forest of Dean. Utilising oral history and digital story techniques, video making, public talks and events, exhibitions, and screenings, these projects have explored the history and culture of the Forest of Dean community.

Several projects have involved working with schools to develop and pilot KS2 cross-curricular local study topic resources. Griffiths has worked with national and regional funders, local voluntary sector, local government and other community partners.
