I am Vice Chancellor's Fellow, Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield. My work focuses on how immigration policy and processes of migration shape migrants’ everyday lives and experiences of work, welfare, community, faith, leisure and transnational relationships. I completed the first study to evidence experiences of forced labour among people who are refugees or seeking asylum in the UK. This has led to an interest in the role of faith in anti-trafficking. My research interests include community and social relationships, migration and refugee studies; immigration and asylum policy particularly in relation to destitution among refused asylum seekers in the UK; housing, volunteering, leisure, multiculturalism; and the ethics and methodologies of research with migrant populations. I teach at undergraduate and postgraduate levels on topics including migration, forced migration, race, ethnicity, labour, citizenship and identity, social theory, social and political thought, research methodology, communication skills, and empirical and project supervision.
