Sociologist. Interested in experiences of chronic illness, ageing and disability. Likes to take a posthuman perspective and use visual methods.
I've had a jolly time at the @britsoci.bsky.social sociology of religion conference today. Started with a morning swim, presented two papers - one on religion in older age & another on cultural disruption, & chatted with some fun and interesting people. The photo is me red and sweaty after the swim!

Analysing interview data for the frailty and ethnicity study is proving as life affirming as the interviews themselves. Just got to a section of one transcript where we are talking about thoughts on death, the participant says, 'you might as well put me on the council tip'. Made me lol.

My lovely pal Julianne and I have teamed up for this year's @pintofscience.uk in Nottingham. Julianne used the participant photos from my lived experience of frailty work to show connections in older age. The work is on show at The Carousel (one of my fave places in Nottingham) until 19th May.

Feeling the post writing retreat blues today after three delightful and insanely productive days at Chapelgarth so I've set out on a walk. The lane I live on leads into beautiful farm land. It feels like I'm in a different country today #shouldhavewornshorts

If you are interested in ageing and health and illness, I'm speaking about posthumanism and frailty at this FSHI workshop held at University of Liverpool on 11 December. Lots of interesting talks and it's free.
