Personal statement

I am interested in how inequalities are produced and reproduced in society, particularly from a gender/feminist perspective.

From 2020-22 I worked on the Leverhulme-funded project 'Glasgow Women's Library: A Transformative Servicescape' at the ÌÇÐÄÊÓÆµ, looking at how service spaces have the potential to ameliorate consumer vulnerability.

From 2014-2020 I worked on various projects studying how migrants from former state socialist countries have made themselves socially, economically, personally and culturally secure in Scotland. This was chiefly on the ESRC-funded project 'Social Support and Migration in Scotland' (SSAMIS).

I completed my PhD in 2014 at the University of Glasgow. My thesis analysed constructions of normative femininity in Russian society and culture through an analysis of women's magazines and their readers.

This project aims to investigate whether structured conversations based on EDI-related themes can enhance university staff members’ engagement with EDI practices. The findings will help us understand how reading group-style discussions could support professional development and promote inclusive cultures in academic environments.

This was an Engage with Strathclyde event that celebrated the 30th anniversary of bell hooks’s classic work "Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom" (1994). It brought together a diverse range of educators and practitioners to discuss and reflect on their experiences of teaching and learning in different contexts in academia and beyond.

The event centred around a roundtable about feminist and anti-racist pedagogies, followed by groupwork to reflect on our own experiences of learning and teaching, using prompts from "Teaching to Transgress".

This zoom event focused on sharing research findings and discussing the wider impact of the research in an informal and non-academic setting. Coinciding with our case organization’s 30th anniversary, the event will celebrate 30 years of transforming lives and look ahead to the next decade.
