I’m a researcher, writer and teacher in the ruins of the twenty-first century neoliberal academy.

I have expertise in gender, sexualities, and wider equalities issues, especially related to violence.

In all my work, I am concerned with how ordinary lives are affected by large scale social changes, and the contradictions that are thrown up in the everyday.

I have a preference for working creatively and collaboratively, whatever it is I’m doing.

My creative writing is represented by Holly Faulks at Greene and Heaton. For everything else, contact me here, or on Bluesky or LinkedIn.
