Personal profile

Research interests

I am a third year PhD researcher at the University of Brighton, situated in the Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics. Through feminist postructural policy analysis I am studying the racialisation of health and environmental discourses in English policy on Green Social Prescribing (GSP). Drawing from race and cultural studies, and science and technology studies, my PhD offers a genealogical analysis of the 'problems' of racialised inequalities in access to nature and health inequalities. Through analysing the political processes of knowledge production, the limits and contingencies of GSP-as-solution are made visible. By expanding and specifying an understanding of space, race, and health as mutually constituted, I advocate for alternative policymaking and healthcare design processes.

My research is funded by the ESRC South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership.
