Chloe Froggatt BA(Hons) MRes AFHEA
Doctoral Researcher and Graduate Teaching Assistant
Summary
I am an Associate Lecturer in Sociology, Criminology and Public Health. My research interests include sexualities, sexual expression, sexual health/well-being, gender, the body, intersectional feminism and feminist research principles.
About
My PhD research is titled ‘A Qualitative Exploration of Women’s Sexual Expression’. The study is underpinned by intersectional feminist debates on re-claiming sexuality and gender expression within patriarchal Western socio-political climates. Utilising feminist research principles and storytelling methods, the project aims to listen to and empower self-identifying women’s stories, experiences and perceptions.
I currently work within the Sociology and Criminology departments at SHU as an Associate Lecturer and Dissertation Supervisor. I am also a research assistant on the ASPIRE Programme, led by Sheffield Hallam University in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University and Advance HE, aiming to address the underrepresentation of black and black heritage research students. Alongside this, I am a researcher on a project which focuses on young people’s sexual health/well-being and access to sex education. We have subsequently produced two publications (see below) and an annual sexualities symposium which takes place in the summer.
I studied MRes Social Science, undertaking commissioned research for the Sheffield Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) Task Group as part of a research team. We designed and implemented a research framework to gather insight into local teacher’s readiness to implement the new RSE guidance, producing a report of findings in 2019. I also completed a dissertation titled ‘Advocating for a Comprehensive, Rights-Based Approach - A Mixed-Method Study of Teacher’s Readiness to Implement the New Statutory Relationships & Sex Education’.
