Biography

Reynolds was born in Tooting in South London in the early 1970s and earned her PhD at University of Greenwich.[3]

Throughout Reynolds' career, she has focused on researching families and social issues in the United Kingdom. Her research includes studies on the effects that living in low socioeconomic communities has on black and minority families.[4][5] According to the University of Greenwich:

Her most recent collaborative projects provide training to community practitioners in participatory methodologies, co-produce creative tools and resources  with local organisations to explore community resilience during COVID-19 pandemic, and utilise story-telling as an approach to consider the impact of hostile environment policies for migrant communities including those with long-established patterns of settlement in the UK (e.g Windrush Generation).[1]

She is a co-investigator on the PASAR (Participation Arts and Social Action in Research) project of the Open University.[6]

Reynolds has authored more than 80 publications in the form of books, journal articles, chapters in edited volumes, policy reports and working papers.[1] Notably, she is author of Caribbean Mothers: Identity and Experience in the UK (published by Tufnell Press, 2005)[7] and Transnational Families: Ethnicities, Identities and Social Capital[8] with Harry Goulbourne, John Solomos and Elisabetta Zontini (published by Routledge, 2010).

She was one of several Black professors portrayed for The Guardian by photographer Bill Knight in March 2020, and in a national exhibition called Phenomenal Women: Portraits of UK Black Female Professors and Talk, October-November 2020.[9][10]
