Their internationally recognised research focuses on health promotion, bodies, gender, and sexuality, in partnership with LGBTQIA+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy communities through co-designed partnerships, contributing to evidence-based strategies addressing systemic injustices. With over 75 scholarly outputs, their research informs policy and practice in corrections, health, and human rights. They deliver trans-affirming professional development and advise national and international correctional agencies on policies for trans people and individuals with intersex variations in carceral settings. They serve on editorial boards for Scientific Reports and the International Journal of Transgender Health and co-edit Routledge’s Gender and the Criminal Legal System series. Their work has contributed insights to global guidelines including the UN report “Mapping of Good Practices for the Management of Transgender Prisoners” (2020), and the recent World Professional Association for Transgender Health's “Standards of Care” Version 8 (2022), and in 2024 they co-earned the Rosalind Franklin Society Special Award for a paper on intersectionality and health justice for trans women in correctional settings.
