Dr Amy Clarke | Committee member and Teaching Fellow | |
Dr Claire Davis | Committee member and Lecturer in Criminology |

Dr Jo Murphy | Committee member and Lecturer in Criminology |
"To learn more about other people's experiences, so that we can progress and ensure that everyone has equal access to opportunities, regardless of their background." |
Dr Lucy Neville | Committee member and Lecturer in Criminology | "I want every student and employee at UoL to enjoy the same access and comfort within academia as I am fortunate enough to." |
Stephanie Orswell | Committee member and PhD student |
"Because it's relevant to me, as someone who has an invisible disability, and my research involving people with learning difficulties and disabilities" |
Emily Wertans | Committee member and PhD student | "Without representation of all voices, meaningful progress will always be limited. University can feel daunting for disabled students, however our Committee strives for change, addresses support needs and serves as a reminder that disability has a place in Criminology and Leicester." |
