Remarkable lives – Robyn Clegg-Gibson in conversation with Robert Hurst

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to share Robyn Clegg-Gibson’s story.

Design/methodology/approach

Robyn wrote a biography of her experiences. Robert then asked a series of questions from the perspective of a mental health academic researcher.

Findings

Robyn shared stories from her life, and how her experiences have shaped her life and herself.

Research limitations/implications

Narratives such as this give us an overview of only a single person’s experiences. However, they allow the person with lived experience to explore their story in depth.

Practical implications

What Robyn has written is very emotional. Her story will give readers an insight into her life and experiences.

Social implications

There is so much to learn from a story like Robyn’s. In particular, from her experiences of police processes after a crime.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time that Robyn has chosen to publish her unique story in the written form. The value of Robyn sharing her story is apparent upon reading it.
