Lecturer Honor Townshend
Lecturer
Law, Justice and Policing
, School of Business & Law
My name is Honor Doro Townshend (she/her), and I’m really excited to be joining the University of East London as a Lecturer in Criminology. I have recently submitted my PhD thesis at the University of Hertfordshire (just awaiting the VIVA, wish me luck!), where I was researching the role of idealised masculinities in the use of image and performance enhancing drugs (IPEDs). If you’re interested in the topic, I recently did an interview with Vice about it which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE5qOxj_SSg
Overview
I have published in a number of journals and edited books, but alongside this I have been working on less traditional outputs for my work, like my Criminology Tik-Tok (@criminologyhonor), as well as doing public talks at events like CrimeCon UK, and appearing on a number of TV shows as a Criminologist, across Channel 4, Amazon Prime, Discovery, and BBC Three. I’m really excited to continue this work and hope to explore the use of novel media outputs for research dissemination, as well as how it can be used in lectures, in my new post at UEL.
