I have supervised a total of 20 PhD students to completion, who have gone onto diverse careers within and beyond academia.
I welcome informal enquiries from people who are thinking about doing a PhD under my co-supervision, typically in the broad field of sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice.
If you would like to get in touch, email me with an overview [1500words] of your proposed research topic and your CV.
If you want to find out about doing a PhD under my co-supervision, then you could reach out to current and former PhD students to ask their opinion [see below].
I co-supervise PhDs of students from a range of LSE Departments. I look forward to hearing from you.
