Lecturer

Profile

Biography

I joined the Centre for Applied Human Rights in April 2014.

Previously I qualified and practised as a solicitor in private practice, before leaving the law to work overseas (with an NGO in Geneva; and supporting grassroots peace-building efforts in Burundi, central Africa). On returning to the UK, I set up and led City of York Council’s community mediation service. In 2001 I became an organisational development consultant, facilitator and leadership coach; this freelance practice continues alongside my teaching at the University of York.
