You are currently looking at my profile page for the 2023 event, which I co-organised. I created a digital collage called ‘Sharing’, which you can take a look at on the Post-Conference Outputs page.
I was also a Research Assistant (RA) for the 2021 event. To see my profile page for that event and find out how I contributed, click here.
I am a Sociology PhD student and Doctoral Teaching Assistant (DTA) at the University of Plymouth (UoP).
I have been a Research Assistant (RA) for three projects, Seminar Leader for seven modules and Visiting Specialist (VS) for one module. I have given two Guest Seminars, one Guest Lecture and have been involved with eight conferences/events, giving papers at the following seven: BSA Study Group’s Auto/Biography seminar (2024); Disrupting Normative Methodologies conference (2023); South West Regional Medical Sociology conference (2023); South West Regional Medical Sociology conference (2022); Biographic, Narrative and Lifecourse Research (BNLR) workshop (2022); Peer Learning Celebratory Gala (2022); South West Peer Learning Conference (2020). I ran the technological elements of the Methodological Innovations conference (2021) and co-organised the Disrupting Normative Methodologies conference (2023).
I wrote a short ‘Discover’ article for my university website and a blog for the Sober Girl Society. A couple of my poems can be found on my ABC Tales account. I have also had a sociological journal article published in Frontiers in Sociology: ‘Invalidated and ‘salty’: an auto/biographical and theoretical review of the lived experiences of individuals with PoTS’.
I am interested in qualitative research methods, exploring lived experiences, auto/biography and creative methodology (such as podcasts, poetry and digital collage). My research interests include neurodiversity, gender equality, fandom, medical sociology, sensory (dis)comfort and disabilities, with my PhD centring around lived experiences and perceptions of autistic women and/or autistic individuals Assigned Female at Birth (AFAB), as well as media representations of this population.
