Beccy
joined CAVA in 2002. She is currently working on Strand
3c, examining what impact physical or geographical separation
has on kinship networks and caring practices. Beccy is also a part-time
PhD student in the department. Her thesis focuses on same-sex 'marriage'
- a particularly timely subject given the recent consultation document
on civil partnerships (DTI, 2003).
Her
wider sociological interests include sexuality, identity, migration,
and kinship.
**Beccy's
contract with CAVA has now ended and she has started work on a new
ESRC-funded study on same-sex 'marriage', based at the Centre
for Research on Family, Kinship and Childhood**
