Biography

Lucy has been with the University since 2010. She received her BA in Archaeology and Anthropology from Cambridge University in 2001, and her MA in Anthropological Research from Manchester University in 2003. She completed her PhD on embodiment and American counterculture at Manchester University in 2007. Before joining Glasgow University, she worked on a range of collaborative projects around drug use and recovery at Liverpool John Moores University and Oxford Brookes University. Throughout this and subsequent work on substance use and recovery, including drug use at festivals and New Psychoactive Substance use, Lucy has published widely on drug use and recovery, including The Everyday Lives of Recovering Heroin Users (2012), co-authored with Joanne Neale and Sarah Nettleton.

 

Her current work focuses on dirt, waste and pollution, while maintaining a focus on bodies, embodiment and identity. She is currently leading on the ethnographic work package of an MRC GCRF-funded study into water and sanitation in rural Uganda, and has recently edited Down the Pan: New Directions in the Sociology of Dirt (2019) with Phillippa Wiseman and Sarah Armstrong. She has published on defecation (Pickering 2010, Pickering et al 2013), menstruation (Moffatt and Pickering 2019) in addition to her current work on sanitation.

 

She maintains an interest in research ethics, particularly the ethics of ethnographic research and research with people who use drugs.

Research interests

Lucy’s main teaching and research interest lies in bodies and embodiment, with a particular focus on dirt and substance use.

Her current work focuses on using anthropology to better understand schistosomiasis transmission in Uganda, with particular attention to the role and meanings of sanitation and water in preventing and facilitating transmission.

In addition, she has recently published Down the Pan: New Directions in the Sociology of Dirt (2019), co-edited with Phillippa Wiseman and Sarah Armstrong.

Lucy also has an interest in ethnographic methods and research ethics. In this role, she was ethics lead for the Association of Social Anthropologists (2012-2016), and has published on the has ethics of representation and on paternalism in research ethics.

Grants

Lucy is currently Co-I on the MRC-funded GCRF grant, Cultural, social and economic influences on ongoing Schistosomiasis mansoni transmission, despite a decade of mass treatment, and the potential for change. This work is focused on using ethnographic methods to understand how people in rural Uganda, located on the shore of Lake Victoria, interact with and understand water and sanitation with a view to identifying 'best fit' interventions to reduce open defecation and water contact. 

Supervision

  • Bodies, embodiment and identity
