Personal profile
Research interests
I am an interdisciplinary researcher focusing on neurodivergent health in contemporary culture.
My current publications are avaliable in Autism, TSQ, Neurodivergent Connection amongst other places. More broadly, I am interested in critical medical humanities and disability justice scholarship, (neuro)queer theory, affect theory, transfeminism and posthumanism.
I am a member of the leadership team for the Neurodivergent Humanities Network. This research network, currently funded by Wellcome, holds important events in critical neurodiversity studies and runs a safe and supportive mentorship scheme for neurodivergent researchers across all career stages.
