I am an Early Career Researcher and Lecturer in International Politics. My research examines the temporal politics of protection in UK anti-trafficking policy and practice. I have previously investigated how temporality influences discourses, experiences, and practices of post-trafficking protection through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with women navigating life after trafficking, published in International Political Sociology.
