Document:
I joined the Open University in 2015 as a Lecturer in Social Policy and Criminology.
I am the Co-director of Harm and Evidence Research Collaborative (HERC), which is an interdisciplinary, cross-faculty research centre concerned with developing and supporting research projects and papers that think critically about problems of crime and justice. HERC works in partnership with the Centre of Criminal Justice Studies (CCJS).
My research focuses on homelessness in relation to: housing, hostels, the criminal justice system, community punishment, geographical displacement and evictions. I am interested in how society contains and manages homeless groups through these various institutions. Currently, I am looking at the relationship between the rise in evictions, homelessness and austerity. I have led on research projects commissioned by homeless charities and local authorities. Prior to working in academia, I worked as a practitioner in housing and homelessness.

In 2015- 2016, I was Module Chair in presentation for DD208: Welfare, Crime and Society. This module was recently replaced by our new module DD212: Understanding Criminology, which is a level 2, 60 credit, undergraduate module. In 2016- 2018, I was the Module Chair and oversaw the production of DD212: Understanding Criminology. It was launched in October 2018 and is the first module to be taught as part of our new BA (Honours) Criminology degree programme.
