About
I received my Ph.D. from The University of Liverpool, Department of Public Health and Policy. My doctoral research was based on ethnographic research of pediatric clinical and caregiving practices surrounding the transition to adult services for adolescents with neuro-disabilities and epilepsy and is the focus of my new book Neurodivergent Youthhoods: Adolescent Rites of Passage, Disability and the Teenage Epilepsy Clinic.
I joined the Geography and Planning Department in 2020, working across the disciplinary frameworks of medical sociology, environmental humanities, science and technology studies [STS], and philosophy of science. Broadly speaking, my research considers the relations between physical and psychological health and our sociocultural and physical environments.
Research interests: science and technology studies; environmental and medical humanities; planetary health; social psychology; climate change; methodological innovation (ethnography, community-based research, creative and participatory methods) and the politics of narrative. Geographies of the British Isles and the Caribbean.
