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 postdoctoral academic researcher in health and social sciences my interests lie in equality and wellbeing in areas including health, inclusion and yoga. I currently work in research impact at Leeds Beckett University. I am a co-convenor of the British Sociological Association (BSA) Early Career Research (ECR) forum and member of the Society for Population Health and Social Medicine (SSM) ECR Committee.
