我要吃瓜 me

I am a Research Fellow based in the Faculty of Social Science, with experience in quantitative research and methodologies, and the handling of sensitive administrative data. For my ESRC funded postgraduate research I am investigated social inequalities in dog bites in Scotland using health and Census data.

I also have experience working on projects related to animal welfare and law with the Scottish Government, Scottish Sentencing Council and the Scottish SPCA.

Previously, I worked on a large, four-nation Nuffield Foundation funded project investigating child welfare inequalities, using data from the Looked after Children and Child Protection returns in Scotland ().

Currently, I am part of a team from the Universities of Stirling and Lancaster looking at permanence, progress and outcomes for children in Scotland 'looked after' away from their birth parents before the age of five (/ccwp/research/permanently-progressing/).

My research interests include human-animal interactions and associated health, wellbeing and policy issues; nature connectedness and green wellbeing interventions; environmental and climate issues; social inequalities; and child wellbeing and protection. I am also interested in research methodologies, particularly innovative approaches that utilise administrative and big data, as well as creative and participatory methods.??
