- About me
- I am a sociologist and lecturer in the School of Justice, Faculty of Law Vice at QUT. I am currently co-authoring a text (with Dr Sharon Hayes and Dr Belinda Carpenter) on Sex, Crime and Morality, to be published by Federation/Willan in April 2010. I completed my doctoral studies in the Faculty of Education in 2006. My research reconceptualised the relationship that fashion models have with young girls as a pedagogical relationship where embodied knowledge is transmitted for better and worse. I am currently involved in two research projects. The first research project is investigating how queer (that is, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer) young people experience policing in Brisbane, Queensland. The second research project is recording the histories and experiences of LGBT police officers in Queensland post WWII. I am currently a General Member of the The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) Executive Committee for 2009-2010 and is Editor of the TASAWeb (www.tasa.org.au). I established a scholarship for Sociologists Outside Academe to maximise the participation of non-academic sociologists with TASA. I teach Youth Justice, Sex and Crime, Introduction to Crime Research, and qualitative methods to postgraduate students.
I love listening to punk music and riding trail bikes in my 'spare time'
