Personal profile
Research interests
I am an ESRC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Brighton's Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender. For my PhD I explored the landscape of support in the UK for people perceived to be at risk of causing sexual harm. This fellowship draws on the conceptual contributions of my PhD to explore policy relating to LGBT+ inclusion.
My research interests are broad, and I am intrigued by questions of how critical epistemologies translate across disciplines. I am excited by research which challenges traditional boundaries based on language, country or discipline, and bring this attitude to my work from within Policy Studies. As I build on my contributions to Policy Studies I have a particular interest in the following:
- Critical policy analyses of traditional, hierarchical policymaking domains (e.g. Westminster civil service)
- Deliberative Policy Analysis (particularly that forwarded by Wagenaar and colleagues in recent issues of the journal Critical Policy Studies)
- Approaches to policy analysis using Bourdieu's field theory
- Explorations of how social issues (in particular relating to LGBT+ inclusion) are filtered through to policy
- Epistemological studies of policy as it exists beyond written documents
