She currently supervises two PhD students: one examining disciplinary disparities in English secondary schools and another analyzing gender-based violence frameworks in post-Soviet countries.
Zoe’s research interests include creative research methods, the sociology of sport, and the normalization of violence in everyday interactions. Her recent publications address themes such as gendered embodiment in MMA and qualitative researcher vulnerability. She holds an Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.
