Research Interests
Emily’s 2008 PhD research was driven by an interest in the ways that young people make sense of their sexual risk taking. Her thesis employed narrative analysis to highlight the nexus between identity, risk and sex and the way in which self-storytelling can be used as a tool for moral identity construction. Her current research agenda focuses on young people’s health and well being and concomitantly, the importance of reflexivity for conducting ethical qualitative research.
