Research interests
I specialise in qualitative research that focuses on women’s health and wellbeing. My work draws on social theory, including feminist theory and intersectionality to explore women’s lived experiences. Research interests include family and social policy exploring the inequities experienced by particular social groups who are reliant on social and institutional policies, and women's reproductive decision-making and social support needs.
