Research interests

My research interests are diverse, crossing disciplinary boundaries, and focusing on groups often marginalised and discriminated against in society. A concern with equity and social justice underpins much of my work, exploring questions of difference and the ways in which such constructions shape access to housing, health and leisure.

I have worked across a range of subject disciplines, including disability studies, sociology, geography, housing studies and primary care. Engaging critically with the social model of disability, I have conducted a number of research projects around disabled people’s everyday lives including experiences of the housing system; access to woodlands and children’s experiences of medical technology. I have worked on a number of projects around mental distress; exploring mental health service users lived experiences and professionals understanding and application of mental health law and policy in their everyday practices. My engagement with migration and health research began in a research project around cross-cultural communication in primary care with colleagues throughout Europe (www.fp7restore.eu). This led me to consider the intersection of migration and disability, bringing together issues of risk, citizenship and access to services.

My current research interests build upon my cross-disciplinary experience, exploring issues around health access for mobile populations; and disability and migration. More recently i have been working with colleagues exploring the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of disabled people and on refugees, people seeking asylum and destitute populations.
