Academic research

Discovery and learning

My research interests span equality and wellbeing across yoga, digital inclusion and health inequalities — with a focus on those most often left out of the conversation.

As an academic researcher in health and social sciences my interests are in equality and wellbeing in areas including health inequalities, digital inclusion and yoga. My doctoral research at Leeds Beckett University explored access to yoga for people with marginalised identities.
