Summary

I am a lecturer in Criminology and Psychology in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). 

My research focuses on gender, sexuality, and justice in the Global South. A key focus is epistemic justice and the role of local, or indigenous, knowledge in advancing the rights, interests, and wellbeing of women and the LGBTQIA+ community. Across my work, I consistently draw on and critique the concept of ubuntu, a Southern African worldview, using it as a lens to explore social cohesion, nation-building, gender dynamics and migrant exclusion in South Africa, and critical pedagogy, more broadly. I am the author of Roads to Decolonisation: An Introduction to Thought from the Global South (Routledge, 2024), a text that centres Southern theoretical and applied perspectives. 

I teach across a range of undergraduate modules and have  postgraduate supervision responsibilities.
