I completed my ESRC-funded doctoral research at the University of Sussex in 2023. My thesis investigated Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs), a system for reviewing domestic homicides and domestic abuse-related deaths by suicide, which were first introduced in England and Wales in 2011 and are now known as Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews. My focus was on how DHRs/DARDRs are understood, operate, and are used and what that makes possible in terms of knowledge generation. 

​

Much of my work focuses on DHRs/DARDRs and international versions of this type of fatality review system (known as Domestic Violence Fatality Reviews or Domestic Violence Death Review Committees). I am interested in how these review systems are established and operate, if they bring about change, as well as the experience of those who participate in them (including the emotional labour involved). 

​

More broadly, I am interested in femicide, as well as practice and policy interventions, including coordinated community responses, risk assessment, and prevention. I also have an interest in the experience of LGBTQ+ victims/survivors, as well as heterosexual men.​
