Profile

Biography

I completed my PhD at the University of Manchester. My PhD, 'Situating Medical Power within the Modern (Legal) History of Assisted Death: 1936 – Present', examined the role of medical power and the way in which the preservation of medical power and authority has contextualised and re-contexualised legal developments in assisted death. My current areas of research focus on the racial and cultural contexts of assisted death reform. I am keen to hear from anyone interested in pursuing critical perspectives of medical law/medical ethics.
