My work is located at the intersections of sociology of childhood and materialist feminist thought, with a focus on unequal childhoods, migration and social reproduction. I am concerned with the impact of intersecting inequalities on children’s everyday lives, including the ways in which childhoods are classed, ‘raced’, and gendered as well as ‘generationed’ in late capitalism.
My current research is focused on:
- the care of children, by children, on migration journeys, as well as how these caring practices are taken into account (or not) in children's efforts to settle and claim asylum in the UK
- the perceived commonalities and conflicts between children’s interests and women’s interests and, more broadly, intersections and antagonisms between feminisms and the politics of childhood (https://feminismandchildhood.wordpress.com/).
Methodologically, I am interested in the ethics and politics of participatory research with children and other marginalised social groups.
I am currently co-editing two books:
•Reimagining Childhood Studies, with Spyros Spyrou and Daniel Cook and under contract with Bloomsbury Press
•Feminism and the politics of childhood: Friends or foes?, with Katherine Twamley and under contract with UCL Press
