Rowan Sweeney, Deputy Chair of the BSC Postgraduate Committe
- I am a Doctoral Researcher and Graduate Teaching Assistant in Social Sciences at York St John University. My research relates to restorative justice, criminological teaching and learning, critical theory, intersectionality, decolonization, and social justice. I am in the final year of my PhD which critically explores the production, and exclusion, of restorative justice knowledge(s) in criminology curricula in England and Wales. I am also involved in ongoing research exploring decolonisation and intersectionality within higher education curricula with the aim of developing inclusivity and amplifying marginalized voices.
