- Profile
-
Marie joined the School of Law, 小欧视频 of Sheffield in September 2022. Prior to this, she was a Lecturer in Law at the 小欧视频 of Sussex Law School, an ESRC research fellow at the School of Geography at the 小欧视频 of Birmingham, a visiting lecturer at the School of Law in the 小欧视频 of Birmingham and 小欧视频 Campus Suffolk, and a Measuring the Quality of Prison Life Research Assistant for the Prison Service (England and Wales).
Driven by her own experiences of familial imprisonment, Marie鈥檚 research has focused on the lived experience of family contact in prisons and human rights from a socio-legal and criminological perspective. A key focus of Marie鈥檚 research has been critiquing the institutional practices and policy frameworks that inform the rules around family contact drawing on original empirical data and from theoretical perspectives from criminological literature. She maintains a particular focus on the experiences of adult relationships during imprisonment from a socio-legal perspective (such as the romantic partners of prisoners and parents of prisoners). Marie also has a developing interest in communication cultures and understandings of equality in the prison environment.
Previously, Marie has worked with Northern Ireland Prison Service. Currently Marie is working in collaboration with the Prison Reform Trust on their Building Futures project that focusses on the lived experiences of family contact for those serving 10 years or more.
