Publications

My publications are characterized by a critical interdisciplinary approach to law and its analysis. I am particularly interested in analyzing how law – as knowledge and as practice – relates to broader patterns of representation and power. The relationship between law, culture and social order is a theme that I continue to explore in my writing and research, particularly in relation to crime and criminal justice. My publications span a range of fields including critical criminology, socio-legal history, punishment and penality, cultural studies, and gender and sexuality studies.

Teaching

I have taught from first year to postgraduate level in Legal Studies and Criminology, and also have experience of teaching in History and Women’s Studies. Currently, I teach the following subjects:

• Crime and Criminology
• Crime, Law and Culture
• Punishment in Context
  

Graduate Supervision

Over the past fifteen years, I have supervised many students completing honours and graduate theses in Legal Studies and Women’s Studies. The topics they have pursued have varied greatly in terms of approach and subject matter, but in broad terms, have generally fallen within or across critical criminology, socio-legal history, punishment and penality, cultural studies or sexuality studies.
