Susie is a critical social psychologist whose research uses qualitative methods to explore LGBTQ+ identities and diverse family forms. Susie’s work has particularly focused on the social experiences of trans and non-binary parents and adolescents, exploring how they resist and navigate stigma. Susie has also explored the experiences of parents pursuing novel paths to parenthood, including assisted reproductive technologies and elective co-parenting.
