Research

Research interests

  • Experiences of women growing older (e.g., gendered ageism; whether and how menopause impacts women's experiences in the workplaces)
  • Ageism and stereotyping/prejudice reduction (e.g., intergenerational contact; role of social media in perpetuating/challenging ageism)
  • Using online discussion forums/social networking sites: a variety of research questions, such as why do people use them, how does forum use impact on satisfaction with life, self-esteem, self efficacy, and to what extent does online forum engagement with a particular interest/cause affect offline civic engagement in related activities or offline behaviour more generally?
