Sex is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. Its role in our lives and societies can be mysterious and wonderful but also challenging and contentious.
My research asks questions about sex, sexuality and sexual health. To those ends, I am engaged with a diverse portfolio of projects that employ both quantitative and qualitative methods of research, with a focus on applying and understanding existing and emerging technologies.
I lead projects in Australasia, Africa, North America, and Europe. I am particularly invested in new kinds of collaborative and community-led approaches to research.
