Biography
Fully-funded PhD candidate at the University of Bristol via GTA scholarship. Using an interdisciplinary research methodology that combines legal, historical, and literary sources, my doctoral thesis explores the role of race, Empire, and British colonialism in the formation and application of English rape law. This includes criminal justice responses to rape such as policing strategies and CPS decision-making practices. The purpose of my research is to dismantle dominant feminist theory's tendency to rely on analyses of gender and attrition. Instead, I reject carceral logic by situating radical anti-racist, anti-rape praxis in abolitionist perspectives.
