  I am a PhD candidate researching online visual cultures of highly marginalised and stigmatised women, feminism and the self-image—a published feminist scholar with research and international speaking conference experience. My research interests are visual sociology, visual anthropology, photo theory, online visual cultures, digital cultures, diversity arts discourses, visual criminology, visual violence, surveillance, censorship and identity. More recently, I publish about misogyny, sexual violence, rape culture and the #MeToo movement in the context of 1990s rural Australia and sexual violence. I predominately use auto-ethnography as a feminist research methodology with a mixed methodical approach of social media content analyses, arts-based research and qualitative research methodologies.
