- Teaching interests
-
Over the past few years, I have studied, researched and taught within the disciplines of geography, international political economy, politics and public policy.
But criminology is my passion. It is a fascinating discipline with endless stories 鈥 both macabre and heartwarming 鈥 which open up a unique window into the human condition.
My aim when teaching criminology is to communicate this fascination to others and to nurture it within their own learning experience.
