      • Learning &
        Teaching Interests

        I am interested in how genders intersect with other aspects of our identities, particularly life course and sexualities. 

        My research background is within qualitative research and I am passionate about teaching within this area, particularly feminist methodologies and ethics.

      • Research Outputs &
        Interests

        Gender, Generation and Crisis

        I am interested in exploring the intergenerational impacts of different types of crisis on gendered experiences. Within this, I take a broad view of crisis from the perspective of those who have survived catastrophe themselves, including 'natural' disaster, conflict and violence.

        Youth, Gender and Sexualities Post-Disaster

        I am interested in understanding the specific experiences of young people who experience a disaster in their youth, particularly young adults rather than children.

      • Funded Research &
        Knowledge Exchange Projects

        Current Research: HEIF Small Grant exploring the intergenerational impacts of the 2018 UCU-USS strikes on women in academia

        This research seeks to explore how women at different stages in their lives and careers experienced the 2018 UCU-USS strikes. I am currently recruiting participants to take part in a semi-structured interview and/or a focus group about their experiences.
