Biography

Paula Singleton is a critical psychologist whose doctoral research on gynecomastia surgery inspired her research interests in critical approaches to gendered embodiments and experiences. She has worked with drug users in community treatment, and her work with Dr Christine Morton from the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative on peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a rare pregnancy complication which can be fatal, was used to inform a clinician toolkit to save women’s lives. Her recent work includes an autoethnographic paper linking craftivism, feminism and Barbie. She works at Leeds Beckett University in the United Kingdom, currently as part of the Stigmatised Sexualities and Sexual Harm Research Group, where she has successfully applied for internal funding for a freelance "activist-in-residence" who is working with the group with a focus on shame and courtesy stigma.
