Profile

Biography

I completed my bachelors degree in Law and Criminology at Keele University in 2008. I then went on to study for my masters in Criminology at The University of Kent in 2009. I stayed at Kent for my ESRC funded 1+3 masters in Methods of Social Research and PhD in Criminology and graduated in July 2018.

My particular fields of interest are genocide, war and state crimes. This arose from a school trip to Dachau at the age of fifteen and a visit to Auschwitz and Auschwitz Birkenau at the age of sixteen with the Holocaust Educational Trust.
