Associate Lecturer, Dept. of Educational Research, Lancaster University, UK, Lancaster University

My research focusses on masculinities, education and the performing arts (policy and practice). It is located within the Department of Educational Research (Centre for Social Justice and Wellbeing in Education) at Lancaster University, UK. In particular my research explores:

*the experiences of young male dancers aged 11-18, and how they resist and challenge dominant discourses around dance and masculinity
* dance educators living with/through cancer - a longitudinal and phenomenological analysis with colleagues from the USA
* the mapping of OFQUAL regulated Graded Examinations in Dance to the National Curriculum at Key Stages 1-3.

My book, 'Masculinities, Sexualities and Boys Who Dance' will be published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2023.
