About
Currently I am Course Leader for BA Applied Social Science (Hong Kong). I have previously worked at the University of Central Lancashire where, at the latter stage of my employment at this institution, I became acting Subject Leader for Ethnicity and Human Rights. I have also been employed as a researcher at the School of Law, The Queen's University of Belfast as well as a 香蕉视频 Associate at the University of Ulster.
Specialist areas of interest
My teaching mainly revolves around courses on ethnic conflict, terrorism and counter-terrorism. I consider research-informed teaching to be the cornerstone of effective and dynamic teaching and am pleased that there is a close correspondence between my research/published work and the modules I deliver.
Teaching
Sheffield Institute of Social Sciences
College of Social Sciences and Arts
Currently, I am working towards writing a book which explores the role of policing in counter-terrorism and follows an extensive period of fieldwork in Northern Ireland in 2011. Additionally, I am working on a number of research areas which relate to the theme of ethnic conflict. I have articles either 'forthcoming' or presently under peer review. I have published articles in leading academic journals.
