From 1994 - 1995 she was a Fellow of the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, Freiburg, Germany, where she conducted research into criminal law reform and human rights in Africa and German prisoners' rights. She came to Oxford in 1995 to write her doctorate at Balliol College, after which she went on to become a law fellow at St Anne?s College. She is the author of the book Contrasting Prisoners' Rights (OUP 2004), the themes of which she has more recently explored in her article ?Conceptions of Liberty Deprivation?
