I am particularly interested in PhD projects that make use of creative or co-produced methods, involve lived experience, or focus on areas such as fraud and financial crime, women, organised crime and economic harms.

• Feminist Criminology
• Fraud and financial crime/ economic harms.
• Lived experiences of contact with the Criminal Justice System
• Creative, participatory and narrative methodology.
