Current research

Shaun’s current research is focused on the ways in which gay men in the twenty first century negotiate their dressed appearance in relation to their sexuality, age, social class, race, ethnicity, nationality, occupation and notions of fashionability. 

Shaun is also looking at men's underwear, in the context of a one man's collection, addressing ideas of fit, comfort, use and wear and processes of collecting.
