Personal profile

Academic Background

My socio-legal PhD research focuses on the administration of asylum applications in the UK. 
 
In my research, I use qualitative research methods including Freedom of Information Requests, interviews, and observations, as well as and criminological and sociological theories and perspectives. Throughout my research, I hold a critical gaze on the entanglement of public and private interests involved in asylum decision-making in the UK.

 

I hold a MA from the University of Edinburgh and a MSc in Global Criminology from Birkbeck, University of London. At UEA, my PhD research is funded by the South-East Network for Social Science (SeNSS).

 

My teaching experience covers core Criminal Law and Criminology modules at UEA, including 'Principles of Criminal Law', 'Crime & Society', 'Crime & Sentencing', and 'Criminology'.

 

I am a member of the Public Law Project's Tracking Automated Government (TAG) working group and, outside of academia, I am an OISC-regulated immigration adviser at a free legal advice service.
