I have been working with the Sigma Research group since January 2008, and moved with Sigma to LSHTM in February 2011. Prior to this I studied for my PhD at Keele University and explored how individuals make sense of risk within the context of their sexual behaviour.
Affiliation
Teaching
I lead a seminar and lecture on the Health Promotion Theory module, and am a tutor on the MSc in Public Health.
Research
My research primarily focuses on understanding HIV risk-related behaviour among most at risk populations in the UK, namely black Africans and men who have sex with men. I adopt a community-particpatory approach in research and, as far as possible, engage with community partners to help understand their research needs, and work closely with them to translate research into HIV health promotion policy and practice.
I am also interested in the health and well-being of marginalised communities more broadly and have conducted research into: homophobic hate crime and social cohension; the broader health needs of people living with diagnosed HIV; and I am currently involved with a large scale survey of gay and bisexual men's general health related behaviours, in partnership with the gay rights charity, Stonewall. A complete listing of my written outputs and conference presentations can be found on the Sigma Research website.
