My research work primarily studies Men and Masculinities, practices of safety and risk-taking, and mental health, mainly in male-dominated and high-risk workspaces and contexts. My research focus is interdisciplinary: applying psychology, sociology, and poststructural feminist theory to explore pathways towards positive human growth, and understanding development of socially inclusive and beneficial forms of masculinities in complex contexts, often where there exists historic or longitudinal socially-constructed expectations of ‘hypermasculinity’ and linked identities and behaviours.
