Personal profile
Area of academic expertise - outline
I am a sociologist of health & illness. Since 2012, my research has focused on exploring social and cultural aspects of dementia.
I began my research career in 2001, as a Research Intern for Barnarod's Policy, Research & Influencing Unit (PRIU) before completing my doctorate at Cardiff University and then working at the Universities of Glasgow, Edinburgh and Stirling, prior to taking up a Senior Lectureship at UWS in 2015.
My current research explores multispecies and posthumanist approaches to dementia. For more information please visit our project website:(www.multispeciesdementia.wordpress.com)
Outside of UWS
I have served as a co-opted member of the Scottish Dementia Working Group and worked with Dementia Alliance International. I have served as an Academic Editor for Public Library of Science (PLoS) One. I am currently a member of the Associate Editorial Board for Sociological Research Online and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
