The research I conducted for my PhD research focused on antenatal health services for pregnant teen women. The dissertation titled “Risk and responsibility: the management of the teenaged pregnant woman within the antenatal healthcare nexus” utilised a Foucauldian ethnographic analysis. I was awarded the WMIER Doctoral Award by the Contemporary Ethnography Across the Disciplines Association (CEAD) in November 2016 for this work. Currently my research interests are focused on the many ways in which a diverse range of stigmatized individuals and groups are denied full access to reproductive and sexual justice in South Africa.
