Summary
Chris is a Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Fellow in the Department of Law and Criminology on a project funded by Oak Foundation.
About
I have research interests related to the impact of social policy interventions (such as, drug policy, welfare reform and the policing of homeless populations). My expertise centre upon conducting qualitative research with vulnerable and 'hard-to-reach' groups. In addition to research, I have previously worked as a Lecturer in Sociology and within the philanthropic sector. I am currently finalising my PhD at the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and I was the winner of the 'Doctoral Ï㽶ÊÓƵer of the Year' award in 2018.
