Personal profile

Research interests

I am a medical sociologist specialising in palliative care, dementia and healthcare technology. My research explores how care is organised, experienced, and governed across later life and advanced illness, with a particular focus on home, care homes, and emerging health technologies. I am interested in how institutional, technological, and policy systems shape care practices, patient experiences, and inequalities at the end of life. My current projects include an ESRC-funded study on housing and living at home with advanced progressive illness, and a Dorothy House Hospice-supported project exploring wearable neurotechnology (EEG) and neurofeedback for neuropathic pain in palliative care. I am also writing a forthcoming Bristol University Press book, The Politics of Palliative and End-of-Life Care in Care Homes.

I have recently won the prestigious British Science Award Lecture for the Social Sciences for my research on dying in care homes. My doctoral thesis is the first study of palliative care practice in British care homes in almost 20 years.

My academic publications can be found in Social Science and Medicine, BMC Geriatrics, Sexuality Research and Social Policy, the Journal of Aging & Social Policy, , and the Routledge book series Death, Dying and Bereavement, and the collection Deleuze and Guattari and Fascism edited by Rick Dolphijn and Rosi Braidotti.

I am open to supervise doctoral students on the following topics:

  • Dementia
  • Later-life Healthcare
  • Dying, Palliative and End of Life Care (PEoLC)
  • Health and Social Care Technology
  • Digitalisation
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)
  • Non-intervention

Research areas: Health, Ageing & Science and Technology Studies (STS)
