Overview

I am a Lecturer in Education with a particular interest in young people's gender and sexual cultures, digital relationships and creative, visual and arts-based methods. My teaching and research is driven by a passion for creating social change for gender and sexual justice within and through education.

My research sets out to foster creative, curious and imaginative ways of attending to how gender and sexuality comes to matter in young people’s everyday digitally-networked lives. In 2020 I completed my PhD, titled Exploring young people's digital sexual cultures through creative, visual and arts-based methods, at the School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University, Wales. My work is informed by queer and feminist posthuman theories. 

Currently, I am investigating how the non-binary, sexually diverse and networked facets of fungi can open up creative and critical spaces for exploring networked communication, gender and sexuality with young people and educators.
