.:: Funded Research Projects<\/h2>\r\n

I am currently working on a research project Funded by the British Academy and Leverhulme Trust. This project is a collaboration between\u00a0Chronic Illness Inclusion<\/a>, an organisation of people living with energy limiting chronic illnesses, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool Hope University.<\/p>\r\n

The project title is: Disbelief and Disregard: The Gendered Experiences of Energy Limiting Chronic Illnesses in England. It aims to look at the experiences of people living with Chronic illnesses and what is affecting their lives. For more information on this research, please visit the this website<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

My research is located primarily in disability studies, feminist theory, education and health studies. As such, my work is very interdisciplinary and is concerned primarily with issues of social justice and social change.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A great part of my research has focused on investigating chronic illness from a disability studies perspective, focusing on the barriers that people with chronic conditions experience in their everyday lives. These included barriers in employment, access to health care and education. The role of both ableism and disablism in the lives of people with chronic conditions was explored in detail. Another aspect of this work looked at the lay knowledges and strategies people develop with and through their experience of impairment, which are often not recognised by established systems of knowledge such as biomedicine. As a result of this research, I have delivered workshops on chronic illness in the workplace to institutions such as the NHS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Other work has explored issues of gender and disability and issues of access and disability in Higher Education.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I have published in numerous international journals and edited collections and am currently editing a journal issues with Dr. Emma Shepperd about representations of chronic illness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I have presented my work at several reputable and peer-reviewed national and international conferences. I have also been invited to participate in panels in prestigious non-academic conferences, such as AHTV: Exploring Research in Television<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
