Profile

I joined the School of Law in 2018. Prior to this I was a Lecturer in Law, University of York (2013-18) and Teaching Fellow and Research Student, University College London (UCL) (2010-13).

Responsibilities

  • Director of Community Engagement

Research interests

My current research examines food waste as a distinct legal and policy problem. As part of this, I was an ESRC Parliamentary Academic Fellow, seconded to the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) and commissioned to write a major report on food waste. By demonstrating the limited evidence base for non-legislative interventions, the report provides an underpinning case for new legislation to prevent food waste. 

I have provided oral and written evidence to Parliament, briefed Parliamentarians, and advised several government, business and third sector organisations on food waste law and policy.

I have a general research background in environmental law, including waste, regulatory enforcement, climate change (especially mitigation) and environmental liability. I also retain research interests in tort, particularly the relationship between tortious liability and corporate responsibility.
