Research interests
My PhD explores the relationships of dominance and subordination in the context of race and identity in legal education and I was recently involved in the research team for the Living Black at University project. I am currently researching inclusive pratice in Higher Education and decolonising all aspects of the student experience. I regularly write for WonkHE on issues relating ot inclusion and previously was a contributor to the HuffPost.
I have worked with the United Nations on firearms reduction and wrote two of the chapters in Firearms: global perspectives on consequences, crime and control (2021, Routledge).
My MPhil was in medical law and bioethics and I have written on physician assisted suicide.
