Hello! My name is Rachel, and I’m a geographer and researcher based in Dublin.
I’m currently completing a PhD in the School of Geography at University College Dublin, funded by Research Ireland. My doctoral research focuses on asexual geographies: exploring ace people’s everyday experiences of space/place, and the spatialities of asexuality and compulsory sexuality in Ireland.
If you would like to learn more, you can email me.
