Research
I am interested in the interaction between law and religion, particularly in the contexts of human rights, safeguarding and securitisation. More widely, I research in the field of Law and the humanities. My PhD, entitled 'A Critical Legal Study of the Prevent Duty: The Religious Dimension', explored the religious dimension of the Prevent Duty and falls into two parts. These look at the impact of highlighting the Prevent Duty on the study of Law and Religion and on faith communities respectively.
Teaching
I joined the School as a Lecturer in January 2023. I teach on the LLB modules of Land Law and Equity and Trusts. I also co-lead the Legal History module. I have past experience teaching on the LLM Canon Law module, and the LLB Public Law and Family Law modules as both a Tutor and a PGR Tutor. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
I am available for undergraduate dissertation supervision in the area of law and religion.
