Teaching & Research
Teaching interests:
I am mainly involved with teaching research methods and statistics (undergraduate and postgraduate).
Research interests:
My research interests are varied, but I am particularly interested in sexual violence research. My PhD research aims to explore some of the factors which contribute to men's
disclosure and reporting decisions following experiences of sexual violence, using a mixed-methods socioecological approach.
Other strands of research that I am involved in include:
• Criminal victimisation of sexual minorities
• Traumatic ande chronic health experiences
• The application of evidence-based practice in healthcare
