Research
My research interests are primarily in qualitative research and in bringing a critical social science lens to the field of social inequalities with a focus on issues of class, race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, intersectionality and in the sociology of the body.
I am also interested in the intersection of mental health with public health and health promotion.
