Her research focuses on fatherhood, child protection systems, and family services, particularly exploring men’s experiences in care proceedings and the emotional impact of child removal. Using qualitative and interdisciplinary approaches, she investigates how narratives from fathers can inform better interventions and policy.
Georgia’s recent publications show a strong trend in understanding recurrent care proceedings, parental mental health, and innovative engagement methods such as integrating theatre with research to improve public discourse. Her work bridges academic inquiry with real-world application, especially in evaluating programmes like Caring Dads and influencing family service practices.
She was awarded the UEA Engagement Award on 28 April 2022 for her impactful public outreach. Her research has been supported by major funders including the Nuffield Foundation, Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and Lancashire Police.
