Teams and roles for Adam Edwards
Director of Learning and Teaching
Overview
I am a Professor in the School of Social Sciences with a keen interest in collaborative and inter-disciplinary research including work with lawyers, political scientists, computer scientists and sociologists who are interested in the impact of emergent technologies, particularly social media and smart cities, on issues of law, governance and regulation in relation to problems of crime, security and justice. I also have a track record of research on the politics of security in European city-regions and on the organisation of serious crimes and their reduction.

Teaching
I have been centrally involved in the design as well as the delivery of the single honours degree programme in criminology in Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences and its MSc in Crime, Safety and Justice. This involvement reflects my pedagogic interests in the interrelationship of theory, method and data, how this can distinguish the social sciences from other narratives about social life and how it can facilitate their contribution to deliberative democracy.
