Kristina Garner

Kristina, an alumna of the Law School, returned as a member of staff in 2012 after some time working with the HEFCE Aimhigher initiative.

In addition to teaching within the school, Kristina has responsibility for developing Widening Participation and Outreach work across the Faculty of Social Sciences. This involves working with colleagues across the Faculty to develop strategies and activities to raise attainment and aspiration among currently under-represented groups.

Part of Kristina’s role involves supporting student projects such as Street Law as well as co-ordinating other liaison activities such as the shadow a student mentoring scheme and LawBlog. She’s particularly keen to hear from any students from across the Faculty who might want to get involved with schools liaison activities.

Areas of research interest include Widening Participation and Social Mobility. In particular the barriers preventing progression onto Higher Education and Access to the Professions.

Kristina currently teaches on both English Legal Process and Principles of Criminal Law.

In addition to this she develops workshops and materials for use with pre university students. These include academic taster sessions, study skills and curriculum linked sessions.
