Emma’s main research interest is in the prevention of domestic violence, with a particular emphasis on controlling or coercive behaviour in intimate partner relationships.

She is using a novel, distributed ethnographic research tool - - to explore narratives and quantitative data patterns.
Her supervisors are , Dr Holly Taylor-Dunn, and Dr Amy Rose Grubb. Emma is very grateful to Professor Dave Snowden, and , for funding this PhD.
