I have a background in Sociology and Criminology and inter-disciplinary research experience across Psychology, Health, Education and Social Work. After completing my DPhil in Criminology at the University of Oxford, I was employed as an analyst in the Scottish Government’s, Justice Analytical Services.
I then returned to academia, working at the University of Edinburgh on a series of projects linked to young people’s relationships and behaviours, primarily in the online context. I research issues around mental health, risk, exploitation and child protection; using mixed methods and qualitative enquiry to explore the multi-dimensional nature of these issues.
In March 2020, I joined UWS as Research Fellow in the Protracted Crisis Research Centre.
I have contributed to a number of regional, national and international research projects, including:
I work with disadvantaged/vulnerable groups to explore the interpersonal experiences and behaviours that shape their lives. I am particularly interested in how experiences of risk and coercion impact upon relationships, health and wellbeing. I also collaborate with research participants and stakeholders to co-produce resources aimed at enhancing knowledge and support services.
