Dr Siobhan Healy-Cullen PhD

Senior Lecturer

School of Psychology

Broadly speaking, I research in the area of gender, sexualities, sexual health, and sexual socialisation using a range of critical, qualitative research methods that put people at the centre of the process. More specifically, I use a social justice lens to understand psychological issues as located in socio-political, historical contexts, particularly within the current cultural climate which places a high value on neoliberal economics and individualism. I have written on topics relating to the intersections of gender, power, and sexuality, such as; pornography, ‘porn literacy’, sexual consent, sexual violence and harassment, chemsex, menstruation tracking apps, and sexual scripting theory.
