"My research focuses on the significant social implications of current mobility system regulations aimed at limiting environmental risks. Cycling, promoted as an inclusive and healthy form of transport, is often not used by those who would benefit most from it. Studies on cycling disparities assume that social categories of gender, class and race are fixed, neglecting the processes of identity construction and the role of the material, sensory and affective dimensions of infrastructure and equipment. My research aims to integrate a dynamic understanding of these identities into research on inequalities related to cycling. It focuses on the techniques of the body and the objects involved in everyday gender performances, particularly in the field of active mobility and micro-mobility (cycling, walking, scooters). My current research focuses on the role of aesthetic experience in the processes of identity construction and the desirability of cycling.

I regularly participate in iiTSE activities that feed into my work. In particular, I am involved in iiTSE's doctoral training programme."
