Department: Northumbria Law School

I am a Lecturer in Law at Northumbria Law School. Before joining Northumbria, I was a Lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London.

I hold a PhD in Law from Queen Mary, University of London and an MSc in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies from the University of Oxford.

I am the co-founder and co-chair of the Human Trafficking Research Network and a Research Affiliate at the Refugee Law Initiative.

My research focuses on the intersection of refugee law and irregular migration, human trafficking and migrant smuggling. My wider research interests include the scope and boundaries of the refugee definition, nationality discrimination in the context of migration, migrant agency, and vulnerability.
