Lucy is a Lecturer in Health and Social Wellbeing and provides sociological teaching input across the Applied Health and Social Care portfolio. She held a three year temporary lectureship in Sociology at the University of Manchester before joining Edge Hill University. Her ESRC-funded Doctoral research explored popular music and the life course and investigated themes of cultural commitment, lifestyles and identities amongst fans of northern and rare soul, rock, and Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Lucy has published and presented academic work on popular music and ageing, the extension of youth cultural practices in adulthood, using email interviews to investigate music and memory, and the ageing body. Her research interests broadly focus on ageing, youth culture, community engagement, wellbeing and online research methods.
