Recently presented my work on #queer #resistance and #prison heterotopias at the London Conference in Critical Thought 2025 & I am still thinking about the amazing conversations we had on everyday resistance, the power of the erotic, queer affect, and empathy and cringe for knowledge production ✨

Heartened to see that close to 900 fellow academics and educators have already signed our letter in support of trans rights, trans wellbeing & trans inclusion, and against essentialist, anti-scientific, racialised & regressive views of womanhood. Please do read, share & sign! tinyurl.com/mud7va29

Delighted to share the publication of my first lead-author article!

We discuss the needs & experiences of foreign national women in Irish prisons, as their narrative is often missing from research in this area. We also highlight adaptation strategies undertaken in an attempt to navigate prison life
