Medical Humanities Research Centre (MHRC)

I am a PhD researcher in Sociology at the University of Glasgow. My research interests lie in the fields of medical sociology, the anthropology of health and illness, and modern French social theory. I am particularly interested in how social structures and cultural contexts shape health outcomes across different social groups. My doctoral project explores the mechanisms of health inequalities among women from diverse socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds in the post-industrial region of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France. Drawing on an intersectional framework and employing qualitative methods, my research examines how class, gender, ethnicity, and the local histories of deindustrialisation intersect to produce unequal health experiences. Through this research, I aim to contribute to a deeper sociological understanding of the health inequalities in Nord-Pas-de-Calais and provide empirical evidence to future research and policymaking. Alongside my research, I work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in French at the University of Glasgow, where I teach French language and culture. Most importantly, my teaching encourages students to critically engage with the social challenges and key debates of contemporary French society.
