Biography
My route to academia has been somewhat unconventional. I was a mature student who in the absence of exam qualifications at either ordinary or advanced level, found an opening through Mrs Thatcher's Access to Education and was funded through Local Authority Grants.

Research interests
- My research interests revolve around 'trauma-studies'. I take both a theoretical approach with an interest in psychoanalysis, as well as a practical (ethnographic) interest in the cases of abuse within the Catholic Church.
