Research Projects

This page gives an overview of the research projects I've led or been part of. As you can see, my main research focus is on sexual and reproductive health. I also do related work focusing on gender and sexual identities. My research encompasses the areas of feminist, critical, and health psychology. My objective is to identify and unravel underlying issues that need to be addressed so that people can realise their sexual and reproductive rights and justice. I use qualitative research techniques to illuminate the societal environment surrounding sexual and reproductive practices, decisions, and relationships. I'm interested particularly in the ways that social identities (such as gender, race, and class) affect how people can have relationships, make decisions, and act in relation to sexuality and reproduction.
