My studies focus on the social, biopolitical aspects of intersexuality. Since 2005 I have been examining the dynamics, connections and conflicts between the medical system, parents and intersex subjects, as well as the processes of change within the field of intersex studies. My new study examines the different aspects of repro-genetic technologies on intersex bodies.  Read more about Limor's work  here.

It has been a privilege to work with people impacted by consensual and nonconsensual reproductive and urogenital interventions in my career. A large part of this work, carried out as clinician and researcher in UK's National Health Service, is distilled in my 2022 book Variations in Sex Development: Medicine, Culture and Psychological Practice (Cambridge University Press). PSII is a vibrant community that I am honoured to be associated with. I am also staying connected to the field through joint working with colleagues on a new book. My other current preoccupation is restorative clinical supervision for care providers in diverse service contexts, from perinatal to palliative care. I am blown away by the unsung intellect, professionalism and love that they bring to their work, supporting people in pain and facing heartbreaking choices.

My research centrally concerns health and well-being, youth identities, sexuality and gender. I draw from critical psychology, sociology, interdisciplinary health research, youth studies, and gender studies, engaging with concepts of discourse, embodiment, and subjectivity. My work tends to be qualitative, with an emphasis on methodological approaches that enable analysis of the relationships between the individual level (experience, language, subjectivity) and the socio-cultural level (discourse, power relations, socio-political contexts).
