PhD Thesis: Exploring Non-binary Genders: Language and Identity

Supervisors: Dr Zowie Davy and Prof Brian Brian. Examiners: Dr Meg-John Barker and Dr Iain Williamson. I defended my thesis on March 27 2020.

PRESENT PROJECTS

I am currently exploring the ways in which parents of trans and gender-diverse children use linguistic resources in order to support their children’s gender and linguistic becomings.

I am a member of the International Partnership for Queer Youth Resilience (INQYR) UK Regional Network.
