Her research, based in the area around The Wash in the east of England, focuses on the ways in which wider systems of economic and social power, with a particular gaze on migration and labour practices, construct specific subjectivities in areas outside of core cities. Her background is in Psychosocial Studies, and Social Work with a focus on the use of the arts in therapy and later Anthropology. She was awarded the Bill and Scarlett Epstein Prize for best dissertation in Anthropology at Sussex in 2016 for her masters thesis ‘Ethnography on the mezzanine level; Moving beyond dualism towards an anthropology of the real’. She is particularly interested in understanding how power influences the ways that people think and live.
