- Profile
-
I began my academic career as a researcher: first in the value of computers to higher education teaching and learning and then in ethnographic and survey research in mining communities.
I then gained an ESRC doctoral scholarship and concentrated on textual analysis, both qualitative and quantitative for my PhD in Law.
I completed my PhD whilst working full time as a Cultural Studies lecturer in Leeds from 1992 -96. I then moved to 葫芦影业 University鈥榮 School of Journalism, Media and Communication and joined the Law School in 2001.

- Teaching interests

I was Director of Teaching and Learning for the School of Law from Autumn 2009 until February 2013. I work hard to link research, teaching and knowledge exchange in a 鈥檝irtuous triangle鈥.
My research and teaching are inter-disciplinary and focus on relations between culture, crime, discourse, identity and social regulation.
Voluntary counselling, management and research work with a women鈥檚 refuge have underwritten two modules on gender and crime and a book in 2009 which informed a successful grant bid in 2010 to the British Academy for a partnership with the centre for Gender, Health and Justice in Cape Town, South Africa, to assess the prosecution of sexual violence.
Students benefit directly from visits from Cape Town University academics, knowledge exchanges and a WWW site on international sexual violence.
My modules are intellectually challenging, engaged with contemporary real life issues and offer students the chance to develop skills such as critical thinking; research methods赂 teamwork, evaluation, communication and presentation skills.
The content has a strong international component and inter-disciplinarity. Students are encouraged to independently research and add new contributions to VLE resources.
Teaching and assessment is varied and feedback from students is always positive and is used to develop and enhance future teaching.
