My name is Caroline Huxley and I am a PhD student in the Centre for Appearance Research, which is based at the University of the West of England. 

My research focuses on women’s body satisfaction, physical appearance, and sexuality.  This is an important area to research as body satisfaction and appearance concerns are linked with psychological well being and health behaviours.  Most research, however, assumes that women are straight.  Little is known about how lesbian and bisexual women feel about their appearance, and how this has affected their well being. 

In order to explore this I am conducting one to one interviews with women who identify as lesbian or bisexual to talk about their feelings towards their body and appearance.  Interviews last about an hour and can be done at a time and place that suit you.
