Dr Suzanne Young

I joined the School of Law at the University of Leeds in summer 2018.

I have been teaching in the fields of criminology, criminal justice and sociology for the past twelve years having lectured at the University of Stirling, Edinburgh Napier University, the University of Glasgow and Leeds Beckett University.

I am the British Society of Criminology’s joint co-ordinator of the Yorkshire and Humberside regional group and Deputy Chair of the BSC Learning and Teaching Network. I use innovative methods of teaching and learning, with a particular focus on technology enhanced learning and communities of practice. My leadership expertise in these areas led to me being awarded the 2017 Inspiring Teacher of the Year Award at Leeds Beckett and I was awarded Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2018.
