About

Hello, I’m Rachel Piper.
I’m working towards health and disability justice in community.


Rachel Piper is a writer, independent scholar and community organiser focused on health, disability and care. She splits her time between Oxford and London. For over a decade, she’s been listening to people’s stories, studying strategies for care, and co-producing alternative programmes and services.

She is the author of the ‘Health Rising’ Substack Care Curriculum, a repository of resources on care.

Winner of There is Only Narrative Competition for her book project Care Interrupts.

She has over a decade of experience working for a range of organisations engaging people in what matters most to them. I’ve done that through mental health and health campaigning organisations, community research and storytelling.

She holds a Masters in Gender Studies from SOAS, University of London, where she wrote my thesis on ‘Radically reimagining the cause and scale of Endometriosis: Surfacing context and coiling towards speculative political strategies.’

Currently, she is the Senior Storytelling Officer at Turn2us.

You can see more about her experience on LinkedIn.
