What I do:

Research

A little more about me:

I am a Sociologist and my research incorporates critical race theory, feminism, community development theory, and critical perspectives in health, social policy and practice. My abiding research interest is rooted in intersectionality, in particular, the interplay and impact of, gender, age and social class as experienced by racialised and minority ethnic population groups. More recently, I have begun to examine the ethics of researching ‘race’, and ethnicity, and to explore intersectionality as linked to poverty, social exclusion and location in Wales.

A key aspect of my research has been to draw out the voices of people from racialised and minority ethnic population groups, to explore and map the responsiveness of public services, to spotlight issues of access, engagement and participation in a range of health and social care settings, and to explore and spotlight gaps between policy and practice. In the main, my research patch is Wales. Most of my research is qualitative, drawing on action research and participatory methodologies.
