DrFiona Grattan

I am a critical health psychology researcher broadly interested in examining issues of equality and social justice in relation to health, and I take a feminist post-structural, and social constructionist approach in my current work. In my PhD research, I used feminist and multimodal critical discourse analysis to explore how sex and body positive social media content constructs sex, sexualities, and the body, how young people make sense of this content and in turn, the ways these understandings play out in their own lives and relationships. I have a background in community-based sexuality education as well as youth mental health and specialist eating disorder support, and I bring that lens with me to my research.
