Research interests

I am interested in research relating to ED&I, and gender and sexuality. I have undertaken research which explores trans experiences of gender and sexuality, and trans healthcare. I have also explored critical perspectives on gender and sexuality in psychology. I have predominantly used qualitative research methods, including IPA and Foucauldian discourse analysis.
