Accepting PhD Students
I am a Chancellor's Fellow in the Usher Institute at the University of Edinburgh.
I joined the University of Edinburgh in 2020 as Mildred Baxter Research Fellow in the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society after working on NIHR-funded evaluations at the University of Hertfordshire. I hold a PhD in Sociology from the University of Manchester and an MA from the University of Nottingham.
I am an interdisciplinary researcher interested in the interface between sexuality, health, memory and online/offline practices. I am currently working on a variety of projects focused on how gay men negotiate HIV risk and COVID-19 risk, people experience memories of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and use of the internet for wellbeing during COVID-19.
I have authored reports and papers on the impact of COVID-19 on LGBT+ people's lives and health and provided evidence to the UK Parliament on PrEP delivery nationwide.
I am also actively working on pandemic preparedness and response, including COVID-19 and mpox.
BA English Studies, 2016 (University of Oviedo)
MA Critical Theory and Cultural Studies, 2017 (University of Nottingham)
PhD Sociology, 2020 (University of Manchester)
As a sociologist, I seek to understand how people experience their sexuality and sexual health, make decisions around healthcare, and seek support. I can deploy a wide range of research techniques to understand how services work and evaluate interventions. I have particular expertise in evaluating digital and remote care interventions for HIV testing, sexual health and social support targetted at LGBT+ people.
I am interested in engaging with community partners and commercial stakeholders to evaluate service delivery during COVID-19 and develop new guidelines.
I contribute to teaching in the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, particularly in the MBChB Medicine, BSc Biomedical Sciences and Master's in Public Health.
I am interested in supervising research students (PGT and PGR) in sexual health, digital health, sexuality and qualitative methods.
