I joined Stirling law school from Robert Gordon University in 2005 and have particularl interests in the legal and policy issues of sport, recreation and leisure provision. I've recently carried out contract research on behalf of the Scottish Government (into the courts' use of football banning orders) and my other recent funded research has been concerned with the work of the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority in Scotland (Carnegie Trust), the regulation of outdoor activities in Scotland and South Africa (British Academy) and drug use in sports (Royal Society of Edinburgh). My other research interests include trade union law, education law and discrimination law (especially disability and transgender discrimination). I teach sports law, trade union law, information  technology law and European Union law.
