PhD projects
I am currently have no capacity to take on new PhD students, however once my current supervisees have completed their studies I would be interested in supervising projects relating to police interviewing, spoken discourse especially in institutional contexts, and in forensic linguistics / language and law broadly defined.
Research output per year
I joined the Centre for Forensic Linguistics at Aston in 2009. I originally qualified as a barrister, and practised civil and criminal law in Liverpool before moving to the Parliamentary Counsel Office, Whitehall, where I worked as part of a small team of specialist lawyers responsible for drafting primary legislation. Combining long-standing interests in both language and law, I completed an MA in Applied Linguistics and subsequently a PhD on police interviewing at the University of Nottingham. My research interests include all aspects of language and communication in legal contexts, especially spoken interaction and the use of language data as evidence.
Since 2013 I work part-time at Aston, and am available on Tuesdays to Thursdays only.
Language and law, especially police interviews; language as evidence; (critical) discourse analysis; language and identity; forensic linguistics; institutional discourse; spoken interaction; interdisciplinarity.
