Teaching that turns
research into practice.
Modules across sociology and social policy, from first-year foundations to doctoral supervision.
Modules

An introduction to how citizenship is defined, claimed and contested. Students examine legal status alongside everyday practices of belonging, drawing on British and comparative case studies to understand why formal rights and lived experience so often diverge.

A study of religion's changing place in public institutions — from chaplaincy and faith schools to community organising and service delivery. The module considers what secular policy frameworks assume, and where those assumptions break down in practice.

Supervision &
doctoral training
I supervise doctoral and masters research on citizenship, religion, migration and inequality, and welcome enquiries from prospective students working across sociology and social policy. Supervision is grounded in fieldwork practice, research ethics and writing for both academic and policy audiences.
