Research summary

My research interests are focused on Deleuzean becomings and the affective prison experience. I am using autoethnography to explore the process of becoming while being entangled within a contaminated environment and then haunted by my experiences inside.   I am investigating all aspects of the incarceration experience but in particular: liminality, precarity and stigma and how these concepts act as a hauntological link to the past and the wider social sphere. My work is post-humanist and trans-disciplinary, it flows through criminology, social science and philosophy. 

 

 

Current research interests

I am also interested in community health and wellbeing, my current role is focused on health inequalities and creative methods in alternative health care.
