Personal profile
Research interests
My PhD research explores the experiences of UK based Christian and ex-Christian women after domestic abuse. I am interested in the ways in which religious and spiritual beliefs impact on interactions between victim-survivors and support organisations; the landscape of support for victim-survivors of faith; religious literacy in formal support organisations; and the impact of abuse on personal faith and theology.
My PhD research is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
