As a sociologist who specialises in friendship and intimacy studies, my research interests also revolve around family and personal relationships, social media, gender practices and international students. I am currently teaching Anthropology and Sociology undergraduate courses and I welcome applications from potential postgraduates’ students in any of the above areas.
