Abigail McNiven

I am currently working on a project about the experiences of research nurses, midwives and allied health professionals.

I am a social geographer by background and completed my PhD in the Department of Geography at Durham University on the topic of pregnancy loss experiences. I joined the Health Experiences Research Group in 2014 to work on a study about young people and skin conditions (acne, eczema, psoriasis and alopecia). In 2017, I worked on a study about experiences of pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure in pregnancy. My research interests include reproductive health, geographies of the body, emotional geographies, feminist scholarship, death and bereavement studies, and qualitative research methodologies.
