Personal profile

Research interests

My research examines the workplace as the site where gender, and associated inequalities, are reproduced. I am particularly interested in how gender intersects with other categories of difference resulting in complex patterns of (dis)advantage. My current projects include:

Disability Inclusive Science Careers (EPSRC funded - £494k)
Working from the margins: disability inclusion in Malawi (GCRF £25k)
Menstruation research network (Wellcome Trust - CoI)
Women's access to basic services in Rohingya Refugee Camps (GCRF £30k)
Gynaecological health in academia
Disability and academic careers (EPSRC and SoSS funded)

Recent projects

Key Research Words/Phrases
