Profile
Biography
My main research interests are Child Health, Women's Abuse (of men and their children in particular), the Injustice of Family Justice (in England and Wales), and the Violence of Flawed Domestic Violence Research and Discourse. I refuse to conduct research that is simply politically correct. Methodologically, I am interested in causal and descriptive inferences using experimental and observational datasets. Drawing on inspirations from medical anthropology, I am particularly interested in mixed methods research that sheds light on causal mechanisms. Outside teaching and research, I enjoy cooking and watching some of the finest chefs using the best dishes they prepare to tell their personal stories. I am hoping that the research I conduct can tell my personal stories too. To that end, I will use critical social research more and become increasingly interested in community-based, participatory, action research.
