I have had spinal surgery several times and require a crutch to get around. I had to retire from my previous career and I am registered as disabled, but am slowly on the mend.

I fell in love with Sociology and have since specialised in gender and sexuality, sociology of mental health and recovery, crime and deviance, criminal justice and penal policy, and social justice and social inequality.
