His research focusses on two areas: the social situations, history, and lived experiences of gender-diverse people, particularly in sport and healthcare, and the role of technology in crisis situations. One strand of his research traces how the participation of gender-diverse people in sport and the eligibility regulations of international sports federations have evolved over recent decades. He particularly focusses on how processes of inclusion and exclusion intersect with ethical questions, prevailing notions of fair competition, and the socio-political contexts of specific historical periods. His book Intersex in Sport – Media and Medical Discourses examines changes in biomedical discourses on sex variations, media coverage, and practices of sex verification, including chromosomal and SRY gene testing. A second strand explores how technology can both generate crises and strengthen social resilience, particularly in the context of public health emergencies. To pursue this work, he founded the international network Resilient Healthcare in Times of Multiple Crises (RE-CARE).
