Research Interests

The research I conducted for my PhD research focused on antenatal health services for pregnant teen women. The dissertation titled “Risk and responsibility: the management of the teenaged pregnant woman within the antenatal healthcare nexus” utilised a Foucauldian ethnographic analysis. I was  awarded the WMIER Doctoral Award by the Contemporary Ethnography Across the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网s Association (CEAD) in November 2016 for this work. Currently my research interests are focused on the many ways in which a diverse range of stigmatized individuals and groups are denied full access to reproductive and sexual justice in South Africa.
