Research interests
I joined the School of Policy Studies in May 2024 as a Senior Research Assistant on Natasha Mulvihill's 'Powerful Perpetrators' ERC-funded project, with a primary specialism in perpetrators of sexual violence in medical contexts. I am also a PhD candidate at Birkbeck. My PhD examined how the relationship between sexual violence and mental health is discursively constructed in England and Wales through a socio-legal lens, and revealed how harmful stereotypes and norms come to bear on sexual violence testimony both inside and outside the courtroom. My research interests include critical feminist theory, sexual violence, mental health, socio-legal scholarship, and critical disability theory.
