Profile
Biography
After completing my BSc Sociology at the University of Leicester, I received by MA and PhD in Sociology from Brown University, USA. I have an Honorary Doctorate in Medicine from Umeå University, Sweden.
My first academic position was at the MRC Medical Sociology Unit, the University of Glasgow, where I was a researcher on the West of Scotland 2007 Study of health in the community. Thereafter I joined Warwick University as a lecturer and subsequently the University of Leicester as Senior Lecturer, then Reader and Professor of Sociology, before coming to York University as Professor in 2013, where I was Head of Department between 2013-2017.
My research focuses on the sociology of health and illness with a particular interest in gender, feminism and health; health inequalities; childbirth; and the professions and organisation of health care.
Between 2004 and 2012, I was Editor-in-chief of the journal Social Science and Medicine (2004-2012), I was a Vice President of the European Sociological Association (ESA) (2013-2015) and Chaired ESA's Postgraduate Committee. I am Chair of Trustees for the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness (2019-2025). I am a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.
