Personal profile
Scholarly biography
I'm a geographer of sexuality, especially interested in lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) spaces. My teaching and research focuses on two main areas:
- LGBTQ equality issues and policies from a geographic perspective (locally, nationally, and transnationally);
- The spaces made and used by LGBTQ communities such as neighbourhoods, bars, and social groups;
- Issues of body image, shape and size amongst GBQ men, especially in the Bear subculture.
Approach to teaching
I really enjoy teaching, especially on my specialist areas of gender and sexuality! So I bring high energy and enthusiasm to all of my lectures, using plenty of videos, group discussions, class polls, and sometimes a bit of quick research right there in the classroom. Learning isn't about just sitting and listening, it's about actually doing stuff! In 2019 I received an Excellence in Facilitating & Empowering Learning award for my dedication to students and personal approach to teaching.
To help students learn outside the classroom, I like to set a couple of important but accessible key readings – books which are particularly famous or influential, which outline key arguments, or which give a good summary of a topic. Usually these are academic readings, but sometimes writing or a video from activists and community groups is the best way to get stuck into a topic, and see why it really matters.Supervisory Interests
I'm interested in supervising postgrad projects in (but not limited to) the following areas: sexual politics outside the metropolis; social and cultural geographies of fat men; Participatory Action Research with LGBTQ communities; and Bear subcultures and spaces.
