I am a PhD Candidate in Sociology at the University in Southampton. My research explores the ethics, values, and practices of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian vegans in the UK. I am interested in how religiosity intersects the vegan experience and how religion and culture are negotiated and reshaped in response to modern ethical crises.

​

My PhD is funded by the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership who are in turn funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), part of UKRI (UK Research and Innovation).

​

My research interests include vegan studies, the sociology of religion, late modernity, the sociology of ethics, environmental sociology, lived religion, and anthropology.

​

I am a qualitative researcher and adopt an interpretivist epistemology in my research. In my PhD research, I made use of semi-structured qualitative interviews, app-based diaries methods, and virtual participant observation, whilst in my MSc dissertation, I employed a mixed methods approach using qualitative interviews and quantitative survey methods.

​

My supervisors are Dr Bindi Shah, Professor Emma Roe, and Dr Heidi Armbruster.
