I am an applied linguist specialising in forensic texts and contexts. My work includes identifying and analysing victim-blaming language across the UK justice system, specifically in relation to investigations of violence against women and girls (VAWG). I work with UK police forces to improve routes to justice through more trauma-informed language choices in police investigations.
My research projects also include the forensic stylistic analyses of witness statements following the Hillsborough Football Stadium Disaster (1989) and the attribution of blame following the Champions League Final in Paris in 2022.
I also develop wellbeing literary projects that centre on reading for wellbeing and have established a series of reading and discussion projects in prisons and other restricted environments.
I am one of ten experts that comprise the Truth Recovery Independent Panel investigating the pathways and practices of 'Mother and Baby' Institutions, Magdalene Laundries, and Workhouses in the north of Ireland (1922-1995).
I am a registered expert with the European Anti-Fraud Commission and provide consultancy and training to national domestic abuse charities.
