Summary

About
I've worked at Sheffield Hallam University since 2003 in various academic roles. In March 2007 I became the Subject Group Leader for Law. That role involved the day to day management of the law subject group, As part of that role, I developed new courses and introduced new student and staff support systems. I also line managed all 26 full time members of the subject group. During my time in the role I developed the Graduate Diploma in Law the conversion course for non-law graduates. I also helped to develop the LLB Business Law degree route. I have recently taken on the new role of Operations Manager for the Department of Law, Criminology and Community Justice in addition to my existing role of Academic Workplanning Lead for Law which has been expanded to cover across the Department.
Teaching
Department Of Law and Criminology

My research interests revolve around various aspects of sports law and I have published articles in both domestic and international journals. Most of my research has revolved around two areas, that of the position of the tort of negligence in the regulation of violence on the sports field and more recently issues relating to the legal regulation of doping in sport.
