Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Newcastle University. Interested in understanding the intersection of medicine and criminal justice, but also likely to be talking about Japanese Roleplaying Games (JRPGs), running and Star Wars.
Attending the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law at University of Oslo as a Visiting Scholar for the next month. Looking forward to discussing forensic medicine (in all its forms) with colleagues old and new. Very grateful to @leverhulme.ac.uk for supporting this visit.

Ring the PB bell, got a one minute PB at Amsterdam Marathon. PB now 3:58:26. Must confess to being a little disappointed as I trained for more, but at 30k switched to easy running rather than continuing to push at goal pace. No real reason, just felt hard. Need more resilience. Still, new PB.

Lovely card from the amazing Dr Gabriella Mwedzi (unfortunately not on Bluesky) commemorating her successfully passed viva. Gabriella was a pleasure to supervise, and her thesis, an ethnography of a Black Pentecostal Church, was fascinating and impactful. Keep an eye out for Gabriella's articles.

Not a bad little place to be parkrun volunteering this morning. #parkrun #JesmondDene

Picked up a copy of Recalibrating Stigma after a fantastic launch event in Edinburgh last week. Very much looking forward to reading the chapters and drawing on the analysis in my own work. Great work @gmthomas.bsky.social, @oliwilliams.bsky.social, Tanisha Spratt and @amychandler.bsky.social.

@deecooke.bsky.social and I ran the Edinburgh Marathon Fest Half Marathon this morning. Didn't get the ambitious PB I'd hoped but still a PB (1:45:46). Have another half lined up in July where I'll try and dip under that 1:45 mark.

Ran my first ultramarathon yesterday, 34miles from the Newcastle Quayside to Stocksfield and back. Ran with @deecooke.bsky.social in a little over eight hours. The banter with fellow runners and the marshalls was ace and I was smiling the entire second half. Definitely doing this race again.

@deecooke.bsky.social and I ran as team on a 10k relay this morning (running 5k each). No PBs but we both got our fastest times so far this year, with me hitting 22:30. Been focusing on long distances for my first ultra marathon next month, so this bit of speed on a Sunday was a welcome change.
