Currently working as a Research Associate within the Safe Relationships and Communities Research Group. My role includes survey development; data collection, management and analysis; literature reviews; report writing and editing; knowledge sharing.
Recently completed a PhD which investigated father's uptake of flexible working arrangements, gender, and workplace culture. In particular, I am interested in how work and care is managed within families and the role flexible working arrangements and workplaces play in those negotiations. I also have an interest in how gender intersects with health related behaviours and criminology.
