Having been awarded funding from a fully competitive scheme, I then spent 3½ years at the University of Sheffield studying for the qualification of PhD, in a study looking at race, identity and child adoption policy (awarded 2004). I was then was then appointed as a Research Fellow (for a project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, at Nottingham Trent University, looking at school exclusion and successful youth transitions within African-Caribbean communities (completed 2004). In September 2004, I returned to Liverpool John Moores University to take up a post as a Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology. I joined the University of Salford in September 2008, as a Lecturer in Criminology (with a specialism in violence). In August 2014, I was promoted to the position of Senior Lecturer. Away from academia, I have several volunteering roles which allow me to contribute to the community: I am a School Governor, a Safeguarding Lead for an International Martial Arts Club (Cheshire Region), and an English language support worker for newly arrived members of the Hong Kong community currently living in Cheshire. |
