Peter comes from a background spanning digital inclusion, LGBTQ+ community organising, social care and the arts. Based in Glasgow, his work at Mhor Collective is focused on developing media literacy across the city as part of Ofcom’s Making Sense of Media programme - working in collaboration with Glasgow Life and in partnership with grass-roots community initiatives. The project seeks to support people experiencing wide-ranging societal exclusions to participate with safety and confidence in empowering and fulfilling digital lives. Central to this work is an understanding of ‘media literacy’ as encompassing an understanding of both the risks and the transformative real-life benefits afforded by one’s ability to access digital media.
Shaped by his experience of working alongside and in support of disabled and LGBTQ+ community members across Glasgow, Peter seeks to prioritise a person-centred and intersectional approach to facilitating participation in all of his work. In addition to his role at Mhor Collective he is a practising artist and arts educator, with an interest in creative approaches to learning.
