Over the last five years, I have taught across a range of disciplines including Social work, Education, Sociology, Criminology and Childhood and Youth Studies. Over this time I have also researched a range of topics including, but not limited to, sexual health and wellbeing, sexual violence, safeguarding children, youth participation, sex and relationships education, and youth work practice. I teach about youth transitions, youth justice, youth sexuality, and children and young people’s rights and youth provision.
