About

My ESRC-funded doctoral research focusses on gender and power in teenage heterosexual relationship cultures, including issues of control and abuse. I am exploring these in relation to middle-class teenagers' experiences and identities, with a particular interest in the intersections of class, age, gender and sexuality.

I am also currently researching gender, power and conflict in the early years, through ethnography in a year one primary school class. This is part of a pilot project involving myself and Emma Renold,  affiliated with the EU ALLIES project (Teachers' and Parents' Alliance for Early Violence Prevention in Preschool) - more information here: http://www.oulu.fi/naistutkimus/allies.htm The research is running in parallel with a pilot project in Finland, led by Tuija Huuki.
