Research student,

Overview

I read Law as an undergraduate at Cardiff University and graduated my LLB in 2018. I began my doctoral studies in 2018 and am reading for a PhD in Law under the supervision of Professor Norman Doe and Dr Roxanna Dehaghani.


I joined the School as a Lecturer in January 2023. I teach on the LLB modules of Land Law and Equity and Trusts, and the LLM Canon Law module. In the past, I have taught on the LLB in Public Law as a PGR Tutor. I am a Fellow of the Centre for Law and Religion, convene the Interfaith Legal Advisers Network and am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.


I am also NSS Lead and Student Voice Co-ordinator for Law at the School. 

Research

Research interests

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.
