I am a critical sociologist with research interests in political education and youth political engagement. My doctoral research (2018-2024), supervised by Professor Sharon Gewirtz and Dr Tania de St Croix, explored the progressive political engagement and activism of young working-class Muslims in West London.

I teach on the BA Social Sciences and MA Education degrees. In addition, I am currently researching young people’s knowledge of work, employment rights and trade unions, and co-producing teaching and learning materials for PSHE and Citizenship lessons with a group of Sixth Form students in a North London school.

I am a co-convenor of the British Sociological Association Activism-in-Sociology Forum which seeks to build bridges between academic sociology and social movements, and a member of the pro-migrant campaigning group Social Scientists Against the Hostile Environment (SSAHE).

Before joining King’s, I taught Sociology, Politics and History in West London comprehensive schools
