I have worked at Sheffield Hallam University since November 2010. During 2011-2012 I was Level 5 Tutor for Politics

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 Research 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.
