Career overview
Ian holds a PhD in Criminology which was awarded in 2015 by Keele University. His doctoral thesis, entitled 'Graftin' up 'Anley Duck: narrating the influence of unemployment upon identity and crime in Stoke-on-Trent', explored experiences of unemployment and its influences upon engagement in crime and deviance, the impacts of social exclusion, and the impact of this upon senses of self and identity. Ian joined NTU in September 2018 having spent three years employed as a lecturer in Criminology Liverpool Hope University.
Research areas
Ian retains a strong interest in masculinity and experiences of exclusion and marginalisation and continues to focus on developing these themes. He has recently published work examining the role of homeless hostels in disciplining and regulating marginalized individuals, the roots of Brexit in Stoke-on-Trent, and the hidden harms embedded within the leisure cruising industry. He is is currently looking to develop links in the wider East Midlands area to further explore some of the themes addressed in this work.
Opportunities arise to carry out postgraduate research towards an MPhil/PhD in the areas identified above. Further information may be obtained on the NTU Research Degrees website https://www.ntu.ac.uk/research/research-degrees-at-ntu
