School: Northumbria School of Law

I am a Lecturer in Law at Northumbria Law School. Before joining Northumbria, I was a Skills Enhancement Fellow at the School of Law, University of Leeds.

I hold a PhD in Law and Literature from the University of Münster and an LLM in International and European Human Rights Law from the University of Leeds.

My research focuses on the literary theorisation of border crossings and the construction of legal borders. I am also currently conducting research on the use of Anti-Social Behaviour legislation to regulate public space.  My wider research interests include critical legal geography, law and literature, and law and film.
