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 include The Palgrave International Handbook of Gender and the Military (2017) by Woodward & Duncanson (Palgrave Macmillan)

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. Recent commissions have covered gender studies, social policy, equality, sociology, human geography, research methods, media studies, cultural studies, social work and social psychology.

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. Recent commissions in this field cover race and policing, spatial inequality, gender and military, youth violence, philanthropy, family formation and digital sociologies.

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 and social justice

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