I am a Research Fellow in the Centre for Social Ethics and Policy at The University of Manchester. Having worked as a commercial solicitor for many years, in the UK and in Hong Kong, I moved from private practice to academia in 2020.
My research interests lie broadly in the dynamic interplay between law, ethics (particularly bioethics) and social change. I am particularly interested in the way legal and ethical frameworks are interpreted and experienced by people in their everyday lives, in decision-making processes and practices, and in exploring the role of therapeutic jurisprudence, especially in healthcare regulation. I am currently working on the ConnecteDNA project, examining how the use of direct-to-consumer genetic testing is changing the landscape in which donor conception is experienced, and how it impacts the management of information about donor conception.
I have a PhD in Palliative Care and an LLM in Child Law. My PhD explored the influence of legal consciousness on the way in which the Mental Capacity Act 2005 is understood by hospice staff making decisions for patients who lack capacity to decide for themselves. My Masters dissertation considered children's autonomy in making mental- and medical-health treatment decisions.
