Mr. Andrew Fowler

Prior to working in Probation I taught adults for an educational charity, when I completed a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education. In probation I started as an Employment, Training and Education advisor, moving into Group Programmes and then qualifying as a probation officer. This involved completing the Diploma in probation studies which included a Community Justice degree at Sheffield Hallam University. I qualified as a probation officer working in the Magistrates and Crown Court, community offices and prisons.

My specialist areas of interest are Emotional Labour, community sentences and teaching in higher education.

Department Of Law and Criminology

Social Sciences and Arts

The projects I am currently involved in are emotional labour in probation; emotional labour in criminological research and pracademia in higher education.

I am a Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Community Justice. I am module leader for Skills in Probation Practice on the probation qualification and Simulating Justice Practice in the final year of the undergraduate programme.
