Gender Identities and Social Interaction
This group explores issues of identity (broadly conceived) and gender in applied health and social settings. Researchers in the group utilise and develop a range of sophisticated and innovative qualitative methods to investigate these issues, including discourse-based techniques (e.g. membership categorisation analysis; conversation analysis), Q-methodology, and experiential approaches (e.g. interpretative phenomenological analysis; narrative analysis).
Currently, the group has a particular investigative focus on a range of applied social issues, including:
- Masculinity and men's health
- Identities and self-presentation on the Internet
- Romantic love; identities and computer-mediated communication
- Sexual consent, refusal and coercion
- Conflict resolution and force deployment
- Cross-cultural interaction
