School of Law

LLB Dual Honours Criminology and Law (Keele), LLM and MA (Nottingham)

Fabienne graduated from Keele with an LLB Dual Honours in Criminology and Law in 2000. She also holds both an LLM in International Law and an MA in Socio-Legal and Criminological Research Methods from the University of Nottingham. She is currently in the final stages of her doctoral studies.

Fabienne returned to the School as a member of staff in January 2011. Before joining she taught at the Universities of Nottingham and Bristol.

Fabienne's current research project analyses the personal narratives of isolation and resistance of former Baader-Meinhof prisoners in the period 1970-1995 within the context of historical and legal discourses of imprisonment in Germany. This is part of a wider research interest in the intersection between public law and criminology.

In 2007-8 she collaborated in a Europe-wide interdisciplinary study, partially funded by the European Commission AGIS Programme. The project involved a survey on the conditions of detention and living conditions of long-term prisoners conducted by partners in ten European Union countries. Fabienne completed the English part of the study alongside Professor Dirk van Zyl Smit.
