Personal statement
Personal statement
I am Course Leader on the LLM/MSc in Mediation and Conflict Resolution, running at Strathclyde Law School since 2009. I am a practising mediator and Director of University of Strathclyde Mediation Clinic, providing a Scottish Government-funded mediation service for 31 of Scotland's 35 sheriff courts. My academic interests are in mediation and justice and the psychology of mediation, and in 2024 I completed my PhD, entitled "Does mediation deliver justice? The perspective of unrepresented people."
