Current research interests:

I am currently principal researcher for the Domestic Violence Interventions and Services Research Programme.  The programme involves critical discursive research on the ways in which service and intervention providers and users understand their experiences.  The research programme aims to identify possible solutions to problems of service delivery by systematic analysis of discourses mobilised by service providers to explain domestic violence within the context of their work. So far, we have talked with police (on two occassions), lawyers, doctors, men who have attended stopping violence programmes, women whose partners have attended programmes, and women who have used legal interventions to try to end violence in their relationships. Current projects involve speaking with refuge workers, judges and women who have had experience of police intervention, specifically.  Papers from completed projects are published and in preparation.  In addition to this programme I am involved in a diverse range of feminist poststructuralist theoretical and research projects.
