I am a doctoral researcher in Gender & Cultural Studies at Sussex. My PhD analyses the figure of the female robot in contemporary culture, looking at examples from fiction and non-fiction to explore society’s evolving relationship with gender and technology. It incorporates perspectives from feminist and queer cultural studies, feminist ethics and AI ethics.

I completed my Masters in Gender & Culture and my undergraduate degree in Philosophy, both from the University of Leeds. Since then, I have spent 14 years working as a project manager in sustainability, higher education and social innovation.
