Alex Kaley joined the University of East Anglia in 2024 as Lecturer in Sociology. Alex has an interdisciplinary background in sociology and public health. Her research sits at the intersections of medical sociology and disability studies. Recent work is examining the intersections of disability and gender, and reproductive health and rights. In exploring these issues Alex has developed expertise in the use of creative and participatory methodologies to elicit the views and experiences of people who may be considered marginalised or whose narratives often go unheard. Alex has an established track record for generating external research income from charitable and major grant funders (e.g., ESRC, NIHR) for research projects on learning disability, dementia and young people’s mental health, in the UK and international contexts.
