Funding and Ethics statement
As a researcher, I aim to ensure my work is grounded in a commitment to socially responsible, inclusive and ethical practice. I strive to recognise the individuals and communities who contribute their data to my studies, disclose all funding sources and declare any potential conflicts of interest.
I aim to ensure that all research and group outputs I contribute to use inclusive language and draw on diverse and representative data wherever possible.
At times, my research explicitly engages with and advocates for more participatory, community-centred approaches, particularly in relation to technology and governance.
A number of resources have shaped my thinking and practice, some of which I have contributed to, and many more from which I have learned. A few of these include:
UK Research Integrity Office: Equality, diversity and inclusion resources

The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love by bell hooks

My current research activities are funded by the UK Government, the European Union and the Leverhulme Trust. Specifically, I am supported by ESSGN (HORIZON-MSCA-DN-2021 (101073237) and the Leverhulme Trust Large Centre Grant LCDS (RC-2018-003).
If you've read this far, please consider joining me in extending the same commitments to care beyond research funding by supporting organisations that provide medical assistance to people directly affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare:
