Research Interests
My past and ongoing research interests are centred upon lay and medical conceptualisations of the ageing body, especially frailty, sex and gender and its intersection with age; age theory; feminist theory (especially drawing on second wave feminist theory that retains the importance of sex analytically); and conceptual approaches to time and temporality.
