Research interests
My substantive work focuses on the ethics of public health. My current interests include population-level obesity interventions, health promotion, how we manage our health in everyday life, and cancer screening. I use my empirical research on these topics to inform ethical reflection about public health action. I am also a qualitative methodologist with expertise in grounded theory and a keen interest in the relationship between theory and practice in social science research. I'm writing a book about the latter topic for Sage (London).
