Current and notable research projects/ publications:
- Traditionally ‘cop culture’ has been understood as permeated with ‘machismo’ and patriarchal structures. More recently policing in Scotland is criticised as “racist, sexist, misogynistic, and discriminatory”. My PhD research re-evaluates outdated and binary definitions of gender in policing by exploring the experiences of those working in Police Scotland today. Project Name - Negotiating Gender Identity in the Context of Cultural Reform: a Study of Police Scotland
- I recently conducted a literature review on intersectionality and policing with Julie Berg at the University of Glasgow as part of the Seldom Heard Communities Grants funded by Police Scotland, the Scottish Police Authority and the Scottish Institute for Policing Research Project Name - Seldom Heard Communities Grant - Accounting For Complexities: An Intersectional Approach to Enhancing Police Practitioner Accountability, Legitimacy & Sustainable Reform
