Access the article here. The second article, which stems from a successful BA project, examines online football forums and analyses how fans discuss and respond to football related racism and anti-Muslim hate.

Course collaboration

We’re happy to announce a collaboration between Criminology and Creative Writing! Dr Alexandria Bradley and Dr Bill Davies have teamed up with Dr Alison Taft and Dr Nasser Hussain in order to introduce creative writing to the popular L6 Criminology module.
Ali and Nas will work with L6 and MA creative writing students to develop a creative writing workshop and deliver it as part of the innovative module developed by Alex and Bill. This module sees 12 Criminology students and 12 HMP Full Sutton students learning together in a prison environment and gives students from both institutions the opportunity to experience learning as part of a diverse group.
