I'm a social philosopher. My research moves between cultural studies, continental philosophy, gender studies and sociology. I'm deeply passionate about researching the agency of suicide, with a focus on the body, gender, sexuality and/or ethics. My research extends to the philosophy of death and dying bodies, as well as Rwandan genocide, violent extremism, older men and urban private sheds, cultural politics of thinking, women in higher education, and pop-up economies. When not in my current position as an Associate Head of School: Research, I am a Senior Lecturer in Cultural Studies. I love teaching cultural studies because I see the discipline as applied philosophy.
