My present doctoral research concerns the relationship between emotion and morality, and their combined effect and influence on criminalisation decisions and the progression of the criminal trial.

My particular interest relates to the revival of legal moralism theory in the criminal sphere in modern times.

My current reading centres around moral emotions as well as legal moralism theory. I also hold reading interests in law & emotion and criminal law theory, including general part criminal doctrine
