Professional biography

I joined the Faculty of Arts and Social Science in 2021 as a Lecturer in Criminology.  My teaching duties are split across several undergraduate Criminology modules.

My research currently covers three distinct strands.  Firstly, I am interested in the insights that can be gained from humanmade objects – particularly those that which are considered obsolete or trash.  Secondly, I am collaborating with my colleagues Professor Deborah Drake and Dr Dan McCulloch on complexity theory in relation to social science.  Finally, I am working with Professor Louise Westmarland on research focused on policing ethics and integrity.
