Overview
I am a lecturer in health and social care, as well as being programme leader for the BA (Hons) Health and Social Care.
Research
My areas of interest include the relationship between society and health, and the consequences of the social determinants of health for experiencing physical and mental well-being. In particular, I am interested in the impact social class and material and economic inqualities play in determining both physical and mental wellbeing. Related to this, theoretically, I have a keen interest in Marxism and neo-Marxism, as well as critical psychological approaches. Additionally, my interests extend to exploring alternative social forms and organisations which support and promote positive wellbeing.
