My research interests include gender equality, workplace sexual misconduct, and violence against women. I have authored the books: Sexual Harassment in the UK Parliament (2022, Palgrave Macmillan), Female Genital Mutilation and Social Media (2019, Routledge), Forced Marriage and “Honour” Killings in Britain (2015, Ashgate), and Contemporary British Identity (2008, Ashgate).
