Her research explores the limitations and possibilities of sexual politics within austerity and neoliberalism, interrogating dominant narratives and regulation of sexuality as they intersect with class and racial formations, work and welfare, and the state. She is also interested in pedagogy, with a research focus on feminist pedagogical engagements with narratives and practices of inclusion and resistance in Higher Education.
