Caitlin is a Lecturer in Criminology within the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow. Her research interests sit at the intersection between criminology and disability studies, with a focus on the experience of punishment, inequality and discrimination of marginalised populations in and beyond justice processes, and inclusive research practices. Her PhD, awarded by the University of Glasgow in 2017, explored how people with learning disabilities experience, make sense of, and adapt to prison life. She has since examined accessibility and fairness at court for people with learning disabilities, neurodiversity, and mental health conditions in a project commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (2019). Caitlin currently sits on the advisory group for SOLD, a self-advocacy organisation for people with learning disabilities with experience of punishment. She has been a visiting researcher at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia (2014) and served as editorial officer for the journal Criminology and Criminal Justice (2017-2020). She previously worked within prison-based education teaching sociology and English, and continues to run a University-Prison reading group.
