Research interests |
My research in
the sociology of health and illness span the social aspects
of genetics and stem
cell research, as well as families, health and illness across
the lifecourse. My particular focus is
on lay perspectives, understanding and experience, as well as
on lay/professional relationships
particularly in relation to public involvement and engagement
in science and medicine. Much of
my work has used and developed qualitative methods within the
interpretivist tradition; it contributes
to sociological knowledge in addition to being directly relevant
to and disseminated amongst a range
of practitioners and policy makers. |
