My research interests revolve around class, education, gender, national identity, and inequality; and I employ participatory, visual, creative and narrative methods in my work with communities. I am the co-convener of the British Sociological Association’s Visual Sociology Study Group and I have facilitated a number of international workshops on the use of visual and participatory methods. I recently edited a new collection for the University Wales Press , ‘Our changing land: revisiting gender, class and identity in contemporary Wales’; and I wrote a sole authored text for Routledge , ‘Visual, narrative and creative research methods: application, reflection and ethics’. I was the Principal Investigator on a Welsh Government funded project exploring the educational experiences and aspirations of children who are looked after, in Wales - http://sites.cardiff.ac.uk/cascade/looked-after-children-and-education/. I have also conducted a number of projects with marginalised families in south Wales; and I am currently working on three projects related to motherhood, immigration and the education of care experienced children.
