Personal profile

Research interests

I joined the Department of Social & Policy Sciences as a Lecturer in Criminology in September 2020, having previously worked as a full-time Associate Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Roehampton. My research focuses on the politics of criminal justice and migration control, particularly prisons and immigration removal centres (IRCs).

My doctoral research at the University of Oxford, fully funded by an ESRC 1 + 3 studentship, examined responses to deaths in custody. I conducted fieldwork in an IRC and interviewed coroners, inquest lawyers, professionals from regulatory bodies and those involved in policy efforts to make places of custody safer.
