I joined LJMU in September 2017 as Senior Lecturer in Sociology and am currently joint Programme Leader for the undergraduate sociology programmes within the School of Humanities and Social Science. With an interest in the sociology of the mundane and of the ways in which society frames our embodied experiences, I have explored a range of areas in my research of which my publication record reflects. My research interests span areas of critical disability studies, the sociology of the body and health and illness and feminism and domestic culture. I have published and co-published on disability hate crime, childhood illness experiences, the social and legal responses to smoking in public and its impact upon the incarcerated, quality of life research, the narrative inquiry technique and the use of food banks in Cheshire.

Since September 2017 I have been involved in the teaching of a wide range of modules including Research Methods, the Sociology of the Life course and the Dissertation. I am currently module leader for Sociological Imaginations (4), Knowing the Modern World (5) and The Medicalised Body (5). I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Prior to LJMU, I worked at a number of universities including the Open University, University of Central Lancashire and the University of Chester where I taught widely on a variety of modules. At the University of Chester I helped establish the Institute of Gender Studies and the successful MRES in Gender Studies and am still an affiliate of this important research hub. I received a funded PhD from the University of Central Lancashire which explored the lives of children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
