Recently finished my PhD in Sociology, at the University of Leeds, examining the mistreatment of disabled adults in care facilities.

I'm a queer, neurodivergent woman (she/her) & family carer. Interested in care ethics, abolition and disability justice.
✨ New book review alert ✨

I recently reviewed 'Law and Personality Disorder: Human Rights, Human Risks, and Rehabilitation' by Ailbhe O'Loughlin for Medical Law International.
