Personal profile

Research Interests

Risk taking behaviours amongst youth; Disability and development; Youth sexualities; Youth development; Youth marginalisation. As a development sociologist, I am driven by understanding and seeking solutions to many of society’s contemporary social challenges. I am particularly interested in the structural barriers that vulnerable groups such as youth and people with disabilities face in achieving better outcomes for themselves, and in how their agency can be supported to improve their lives. My research is therefore inherently applied. While I am committed to conceptualising and executing rigorous research that can build theory, I am equally interested in how evidence can be used to develop innovative solutions that promote better social development outcomes for society’s excluded and marginalised groups.
