I am supervised by Ilina Singh (Psychiatry) and Mike Parker (Ethox).I am part of Mothers: Early Intervention Ethics (MO:EIE), a project which focuses on the social, political and ethical dimensions of early intervention in maternal health and child development. I focus on Mother and Baby Units in UK Women’s Prisons; seeking to understand how parenting support is enacted and valued, and how conflicts between justice and care are negotiatedI have also undertaken work concerning values inherent in childhood psychiatric disorders, focussing on ADHD. Additionally, I have conducted qualitative work around the values and diagnostic labels in eating disorders.
