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.

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.
