Areas he is particularly interested in include stigma and discrimination, inclusive education, disability and sexual health and climate change. Mark has co-authored work in each of these areas. Broadly speaking, Mark is also interested and strives to ensure that research projects and structures are inclusive, in the sense that they are spaces that involve and build the careers of future research leaders of different backgrounds, particularly researchers with disabilities and researchers from low and middle-income countries. He frequently works with non-academic stakeholders, including policymakers, NGOs, and Organisations of Persons with Disabilities.
