My profile
Biography
I am Professor of Gender, Equalities & Communities. My key areas of research expertise are gender-based violence, particularly within minoritised communities, self-harm, gender and ethnicity. I am also an internationally known expert on forced marriage research.
Currently, I am Principal Investigator on an ESRC funded study on domestic homicide in England & Wales. I am also a co-applicant on various national and international research projects on sexual harassment and violence in university settings. I have published widely in national and international
journals and am author of several book chapters and co-editor of three books.
My professional background is in community development, therapeutic counselling
and clinical supervision. I worked for many years in local authority settings
and in the voluntary sector before joining the academy.
