Teaching

I have over 30 years experience of teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students and I currently supervise several research degree students who are working in a wide range of areas.

Along with Joanna Schellenberg I am Co-Director of the DrPH Programme, a Professional Doctorate in Public Health.

I am also Co-Module Organiser with Tim Rhodes for the Sociological Approaches to Heath module.

I am co-author with Judith Green of Qualitative Methods for Health Research, fourth edition (London:Sage 2018) and Series Editor, with Rosalind Plowman, of the Understanding Public Health series of textbooks published by Open University Press.

There are 19 books in the series each of which support face-to- face and Distance Learning Modules for the Masters in Public Health. There have been second editions of fourteen books and several of these (5) have had third editions.

1999 – present day: Tutor on MScPH.

Including identifying and supporting students with atypical neuroprocessing.

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.
