- Lecturer in Social Work, Brunel University of London
I am a Lecturer in Social Work at Brunel University London. My broad research interests include the diversity of contemporary family life, the interplay between public policy and personal life and narrative approaches to understanding identity and experience.
I qualified as a social worker in 2007 and had worked previously in central government, specialising in international policy in a number of departments including the Home Office, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and the Department for Work and Pensions.
