I joined the ASSIST Board of Trustees in December 2024. I have volunteered in different role in the voluntary sector in Sheffield and elsewhere, including for the Refugee Council and City of Sanctuary.
In my day job I am Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Sheffield where the focus of my research and teaching work is the politics of borders and asylum. I also co-direct the Migration Research Group, which seeks to build links in the city and share knowledge between academics, practitioners, and people with lived experience on topics around migration, borders, asylum and racial justice.
