Personal profile

Research Biography

My research works with feminist, queer and post-colonial/critical race theory to explore young people's negotiations and experiences of gender, sex and sexuality norms, subjectivities and identities. My recent book is titled Young People and Pornography: Young People Negotiate Pornification (2013, Palgrave Macmillan), and latest articles include Race and Sexuality: Colonial Ghosts and Contemporary Orientalisms (The Palgrave Handbook of Ethnicity, 2019).

In particular, my research is undertaken with community partners with a focus on strategies, interventions and resource production to tackle issues of gender, sex and race inequality. My current projects include 1) €˜What Works?' Sexuality, Intergenerational Negotiations and Multi-Cultural Multi-Faith Communities and 2) €˜In The Moment': A whole school approach to confront sexism where and when it occurs.

I am a member of the executive committee of the Australian Womens' and Gender Studies Association.
