Ashley Macleod is currently pursuing her PhD in the field of sexuality and ageing, and is working on the re-conceptualisation of the later-life sexuality construct and the development of a sexuality measurement scale that caters specifically for populations aged 45 and above. See further information on her Older Adult Sexuality and Intimacy Study (OASIS) here.

She is also employed as a Research Assistant at the Institute for Health and Ageing, working on projects related to family carer wellbeing, men’s health in midlife, and the fall characteristics of older women.
