Dr Felix McNulty
Lecturer in Adolescent Health InequalitiesResearch Overview
My ESRC-funded doctoral research explored relationships with weight and shape with a sample of trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming adults. My analysis focused on embodiment and negotiations of the body in terms of the ways it is experienced as well as externally defined/assigned. My research interests are queer and contemporary phenomenologies, critical weight and Fat Studies, trans and gender diverse health and health inequalities, and LGBTQ+ youth mental health.
Current Teaching
I currently teach and supervise students in the Division of Health Research Blended Learning Doctoral Programme, with a particular focus on the Public Health strand.
