Welcome!

I’m Reader in Women’s & Gender Studies at Liverpool John Moores University. This blog is about my work and my life, but it also is host to The New Academic, a collaborative project with over sixty contributors that celebrates and critiques, and that reflects on the advantages academia affords us as much as it calls out the privileges it still demands.
