Personal statement

I am a current Teaching Associate and PhD student on the Gender Studies PhD programme at Strathclyde, planning on submitting early 2025. My past roles include working as a Research Assistant on BA/Leverhulme small grant project on the use of Trigger Warnings in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences with Prof Karen Boyle (PI) and Dr Melanie McCarry (CoI).

Prior to starting my PhD I worked as a Research Assistant from 2020-2021 supporting the Pass the Mic project that focused on the representation of women of colour in Scottish news media with Professor Karen Boyle and Talat Yaqoob. I am also a graduate of the university's MSc in Applied Gender Studies programme (graduated in 2019).

My current research focus is on scandal and reputation in media representations of celebrity sexual assault cases.

Feminist Research Methods: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Inequality, Community and Creative Practice

This SHSSS-SGSAH funded two-day workshop - Feminist Research Methods: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Inequality, Community and Creative Practice - returns the Spring Into Methods offering to the University of Strathclyde, where the original Feminist Research Methods initiative was first developed in 2016 (funded from 2017). We retain our commitment to widening participation, supporting students and staff across the career course, and from institutions that have historically been under-represented.
Building on this legacy, the workshop extends Strathclyde’s commitment to inclusive, interdisciplinary and publicly-engaged scholarship, while drawing on a rich ecosystem of collaboration with external partners such as Glasgow Women’s Library (GWL). The 2026 iteration will focus on methodological approaches that speak directly to key SGSS themes (social inequalities, inclusive culture, heritage and creative practice) centring interdisciplinary as an aim, objective and learning outcome.
