Having set up an award-winning prison-university partnership with HMP Edinburgh, I co-convene the Scottish Universities-Prisons (UP) Network. I have supervised several PhD projects and welcome applications from prospective PhD and MRes students in the areas of nineteenth-century literature and culture, gender studies, crime writing and critical prison studies.
