Biography
I am a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Social Sciences specialising in the politics of criminal justice reform. My research focuses on understanding the persistence of the prison crisis and identifying how to obtain the public support and political will required to drive substantive, long-term solutions.
More broadly, my academic interests span the intersection of law, social psychology, and criminal justice. I am particularly focused on how these disciplines can be integrated to examine resistance to prison reform and opposition to offender rehabilitation.
Looking ahead, I aim to pursue a research career within academia, the third sector, or the Ministry of Justice (or, if fortune favors, all three!), working to advance meaningful criminal justice reform.
