Judith Lavender, BA(Hons), MA

I particularly enjoy indexing this subject. I have a long-standing interest in Gender Studies and a Masters degree in Women’s Studies. Commissions in this field have covered North Korean women defectors, women in educational leadership, migrant women’s experiences of maternity care, women in the military and a trans history of Argentina.

Having studied sociology, psychology, health studies and gender at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and having indexed diverse areas of social science over the years, I am comfortable with indexing most areas of the social sciences. Commissions have included gender studies, LGBTQI+ studies, social policy, equality, sociology, human geography, research methods, media studies, cultural studies, health and social care, social psychology, criminology, business and management.

Sociology formed a large part of my degree studies and I have indexed many sociology texts over the years in the form of monographs, multi-authored works, text books and study guides. Commissions in this field have included race and policing, spatial inequality, gender and military, youth violence, philanthropy, family formation, digital sociologies, migration and research methods.

I have indexed many Social Policy books in recent years, commissions in this field cover race and policing, education, youth violence, social care, health activism, offender management, social justice and transport policy.

I have indexed a variety of books in this subject area covering gender, race, disability, class and sexuality.

I have indexed a variety of books in this subject over the years from communication theory to Desert Island Discs.
