Personal profile

Research interests

I joined the Department as a Lecturer in 2015, having previously taught at the University of Bristol and the University of Birmingham.

My research explores contemporary feminist politics, with a particular interest in intra-feminist debates and feminist confrontations (and intersections) with reactionary movements. My current work addresses organised transphobia, particularly within the UK, and the politics of menstruation and menstrual justice worldwide. With my Bath co-authors Melanie Channon and Jennifer Thomson, I am currently writing a book called Period Politics (under contract with Policy Press).

My first book, Beyond Pro-Life and Pro-Choice (Bristol University Press, 2020) traced the history of abortion politics from the passage of the 1967 Abortion Act, to contemporary debates around decriminalisation, disability rights and sex-selective abortion. Other previous projects have explored the gendered nature of risk governance, the concept of 'resilience' in social policy, and the status of women in universities.

I am a co-convenor of the Reactionary Politics Research Network and the Bath lead of the Queer Frontiers network.
