My research interests are in religion, spirituality, recovery from addiction, and qualitative research methods. I have undertaken ethnographic fieldwork on the UK Recovery Walks and within the Visible Recovery Advocacy Movement, and have presented at conferences including the British Sociological Association, the British Association for the Study of Religion, and the Faces and Voices of Recovery Annual Conference.
