About Ellie

I am a sociologist interested in everyday ethical and sustainable practices. Through my research, writing, and teaching, I help individuals to lead more ethical and sustainable lives, which is so important in this modern context.

I am a Lecturer in Sociology at Southampton Solent University where I teach on modules such as Bodies and Identities, Migration, Refugees and Global Crisis, Big Data and Technology, Researching the City, and Professional Practice. I am also open to PhD supervision, so please email me to discuss.

I am currently working on a number of research projects. In addition to my research on faith veganism, I am also exploring both climate adaptation, and domestic energy and animation with colleagues at the University of Southampton.

In 2024, I completed my PhD in Sociology at the University of Southampton, UK, where I explored the ethics, values, and practices of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian vegans in the UK. In particular, I was interested in how ethical principles are interrogated and reinterpreted, ultimately leading to new reimaginations of religion and culture, and practice transformation.

​In my personal life, I am happily married with two beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with my family, going for long walks, reading, and self-sufficiency.
