Keynote Speaker
Dr Carrie Childs
Senior Lecturer, School of Human Sciences, University of Derby

Dr Carrie Childs is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Derby, United

Kingdom. She completed her Doctoral degree at Loughborough University. As a social
psychologist with a strong qualitative background, she has focused her research on how
language is used to negotiate relationships, actions and events in our everyday lives. Carrie
has a long standing research interest in sexuality issues. Her past work has explored
interaction between police officers and children reporting alleged sexual offences. More
recently, she has turned her attentions to social constructions of sexuality, particularly the
marginalisation of non-normative sexual practices and relationships. Her current work
explores discursive constructions of ‘sex addiction’ in the accounts of women who identify as
being sexually addicted.
