Martha's PhD is looking at the construction of prisoner masculinities in terms of work experiences. As increasing emphasis is placed on working and training prisons, how men actually experience this, in terms of their work histories and future employment, has been relatively under-researched. Broader contemporary changes to labour markets, as well as the changing role of work in men's lives, also make this research particularly pertinent.
Previously, Martha completed her MPhil in Criminological Research (distinction) at the Institute as well as her undergraduate degree in Politics, Psychology and Sociology (first class) at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge.
