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 small claims mediation at Glasgow Sheriff Court. My research focuses on mediation in the justice system and the role of emotion in conflict. I am currently conducting doctoral research at Queen Margaret University, considering unrepresented people's experience of mediation under Simple Procedure. I am a regular contributor to the Kluwer Mediation Blog.
