Profile: Michaela joined the Department of Sociological Studies in 2019 as a Senior Lecturer in Social Work, having previously taught at the Сŷ��Ƶ of Salford following the completion of her PhD at the Сŷ��Ƶ of Sheffield in 2013. Before entering academia, Michaela enjoyed many years in social work and social care practice working in both the statutory and voluntary sectors. For the most part, Michaela’s career in practice was spent working in the field of domestic violence and abuse, but she also worked in child protection, foster care, and community development. Her work lies at the intersection of gender-based violence, marginalisation, help-seeking and social care.

Research interests: Michaela’s research interests and publications reflect several areas of interest: interpersonal and gender-based violence and abuse; gender, diversity, identity and positionality; hidden and marginalised communities; inequalities in access to social care; professional judgements and decision-making; reflexive practice; qualitative and narrative methods. Michaela has led and contributed to numerous projects (both funded and unfunded).

Partnerships, engagement and impact

Michaela has worked in partnership with numerous statutory and third sector organisations to generate and mobilise research evidence for real-world impact. Recent partnerships include:

Manchester Women’s Aid (MWA)

Michaela has collaborated with MWA for many years on a series of projects but mostly with the IRIS service which aims to connect primary care to domestic violence and abuse (DVA) specialist support. The work has focused on finding ways to enhance practitioner understanding of DVA and improve access to specialist support for patients. The work has involved close engagement with the IRIS team at MWA as well as with the national IRIS programme team. In other projects, Michaela and MWA have collaborated to improve awareness of older people’s experiences of DVA across communities in Manchester as well as within the health and social care workforce. This work included facilitated workshops, the production of policy and research briefings, and creative student projects resulting in public campaigns across Greater Manchester.

White Rose Collaborative Network

Michaela co-led a collaborative network to deliver an interdisciplinary project consisting of 14 academics, from early career researchers to established professors, from the universities of Sheffield, York and Leeds. The focus was upon domestic abuse and marginalised communities and culminated in a series of workshops on two themes: methodological challenges and working with interpreters. Michaela led the delivery of 6 workshops (n=65) involving researchers, people with lived experience and practitioners from health, social care, DVA and criminal justice. This workstream resulted in the production of a for researchers and practitioner-academics.
