- Research interests
-
Sally’s research falls across the interdisciplinary fields of sociology, gender studies, social policy, law, politics, health studies, and science and technology studies.
Sally’s previous Research Council funded research has centred on gender diversity and identity practice, gender and social/cultural change, and gendered citizenship and recognition.
From this body of research she has developed a strong publication profile in the area of transgender, gender and sexuality theory, gender and sexual citizenship, sociologies of the body, sociologies of intimacy, intersectionality, and theories of recognition and difference. In her current writing, she is developing her work on gender and a politics of difference.
Sally is committed to public sociology and has done consultancy work on issues around the Gender Recognition Act. She has acted as a legal expert in relation to trans reproductive rights and parental recognition. She has also done frequent media work around the relationship between trans and feminism.
