Research Project:
My project focuses on understanding the social determinants of youth suicide in the UK. I aim to look at the structural and individual factors that influence suicide among young people (aged 12-25).
I will be looking to explore the lived experiences of young people through a mixed method approach first using 'big data' from birth cohort studies and then qualitative narrative interviews with young people (this may change though).
Research Interests:
Sociology of suicide
Intersectional inequalities
Mixed-methods research
Participatory and creative methods
Feminist reflexive methodology
