Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer in Sociology with research interests in intersectional social inequalities and social justice, particularly in post-compulsory education and work. This includes inclusive education, trans inclusion at work and higher education inequalities. I joined the ·ÆÂɱöÁùºÏ²Ê in September 2021 following a postdoctoral research post within the Widening Participation Evaluation Team at Oxford Brookes University. Prior to this I was a Doctoral and Associate Tutor at the University of Sussex alongside my PhD. My own doctoral research, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, explored the ways in which first-generation students navigate their educational journey towards Master's degrees and how social class and its intersections shapes these pathways. 

Prior to working within the higher education sector, I was a Research Fellow at the Institute for Employment Studies, working on a range of research projects and evaluations concerning post-compulsory education and employment for UK Government Departments and bodies, EU Directorates and third sector organisations.

Teaching responsibilities

I am the course lead for the MSc Sociology at the ·ÆÂɱöÁùºÏ²Ê

My current teaching predominantly focusses on social inequalities, social justice and research methods. Key responsibilities include coordinating Social Inequalities at Level 4, and Equality or Liberation? Theorising Social Justice at Level 5 and 6, as well as co-teaching Gender and Sexuality at Level 5 and 6. I have taught a range of research methods at different levels, including Research Design and Analysis (Level 4), Doing Sociological Research (Level 5) and specialist sessions for dissertation, Master's and doctoral students.

I am happy to receive inquiries about postgraduate supervision (MRes, PhD and Ed) on topics related to inequalities in higher education or work which have a focus on social class, gender, and their intersections.
