Research Biography
In my ESRC-funded doctoral research, an ethnographic study of the French anti-racist association SOS-Racisme, I examined the relationship between party politics, anti-racism and republicanism in contemporary France. After a short period of research in Denmark (for a pilot project entitled 'Invisible Fences? Inter-Group Relations in a Multicultural Area of Copenhagen'), I then collaborated with Prof A. Good (School of Social and Political Studies, The University of Edinburgh) on an AHRC-funded project entitled 'The Conversion of Asylum Applicants' Narratives into Legal Discourses in the UK and France: A Comparative Study of Problems of Cultural Translation'. The primary objective of the research was to compare processes of cultural translation involved in the writing down and re-presentation of asylum applicants' narratives of persecution by their legal representatives in the UK and France. The focus was primarily on how these narratives of persecution are structured into legally-acceptable forms of discourse, rather than on interpretation in the narrow linguistic sense. Articles based on this research have already been published in the International Journal of Refugee Law and Language and Intercultural Communication.
Current Research Project
Between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2017, I was involved as a Co-Investigator on a three-year AHRC-funded project based at Glasgow and entitled 'Researching Multilingually at the Borders of Language, the Body, Law and the State'. This international project had two overarching aims: (1) to research interpreting, translation and multilingual practices in challenging contexts; and (2) while doing so, to evaluate appropriate research methods (traditional and arts based) and develop theoretical approaches for this type of academic exploration. Our international team of researchers, with different disciplinary backgrounds, research experiences, language and performance skills, conducted international comparative research on translation and interpretation at different kinds of border in order to develop theory, ethical research practices and research methodologies in relation to multilingual research.
I worked together with Dr Julien Danero Iglesias on a case study entitled 'Working and Researching Multilingually at State (and European Union) Borders'. The latter had two principal objectives: (1) to compare multilingual working practices and processes of translation and interpretation at state (and external EU) borders and in refugee status determination procedures in Bulgaria and Romania; (2) to analyse the wider structural contexts in both countries (including national legislation, EU directives, recent EU projects, and the relationship between international organisations such as the UNHCR, national NGOs and the state), with regard in particular to the recruitment and training of interpreters to work in asylum cases and at state (and external EU) borders. We recently published an article based on this research in the Sociological Review.

Access control is a process of granting or denying specific requests to: 1) obtain and use information and related information processing services; and 2) enter specific physical facilities (e.g., federal buildings, military establishments, border crossing entrances).
NIST has been a leader in the development of various access control techniques, such as role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute based access control (ABAC). Cloud computing and data center technologies can control access to information and data services using an underlying access control framework such as the Policy Machine.
Standards, guidelines, reference implementations and validation programs related to Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of federal employees and contractors are critical for securing access to computing devices and physical facilities.

KS5 Science
Sixth Form (KS5) Biology
Examination Board: OCR
Biology is the science of living things. Studying their structure and function is of great importance, as our food, medicines and many manufacturing processes depend on this knowledge. Equally the solution to many environmental problems will depend on an understanding of life processes and how human activity impacts upon them. Some of the main aims of the specification we have chosen are to encourage students to:
Develop their interest in Biology; with the possibility of further study and pursuing a career in this area of Science; to appreciate how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society;
To develop and demonstrate a deeper appreciation of the skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works; to develop essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of Biology and how they relate to each other.

However, there are still several ways in which you can support your child through this demanding time:- Ensure they have a suitable work area at home, with very little distraction. The course entails a lot of independent study and an effective work space is essential.

Thousands of high speed Newtec Ka-band VSAT terminals planned to be deployed within first year of service
HAYLING ISLAND HAMPSHIRE, UK, and SINT-NIKLAAS, Belgium, 28 August 2014 Bentley Walker, one of the world's leading service providers for broadband satellite VSAT services, is extending its coverage to Iraq using Newtec's Ka-band VSAT broadband platform.
The new service, which will initially deliver high speed broadband connectivity to Iraq, went live yesterday and will provide reliable high speed Internet connectivity across the country using a Newtec IP Broadband HUB installed at Avanti's new gateway at Makarios Teleport in Cyprus. The new service will use High Throughput Satellite (HTS) Ka-band capacity on Avanti's HYLAS 2 satellite which was launched in August 2012. Complex geography and poor terrestrial infrastructure in Iraq means satellite based broadband Internet is quickly becoming the preferred high speed solution for the majority of the country.
Anthony Walker, CEO of Bentley Walker, said: "We have been very happy with our Ka-band system, which also uses Newtec equipment, in Libya, where it is our number one selling service, and we will use the same product to take us to the forefront of the market in Iraq. The Newtec Network Management System will provide our in-country distribution partners full access and control to the installed terminals, allowing our partners to deliver on-the-spot after-sales support in the local language. Newtec's unique capability to enable Committed Information Rate (CIR) services is another clear advantage that allows us to extend our services to business users who typically have higher service requirements. We can now deliver tailor-made service solutions in line with the requirements of all customers."
The Newtec VSAT terminals have been designed for both consumers as well as for small and medium enterprises (SME). The terminals provide bi-directional connectivity over satellite, supporting a wide range of IP-based services like Internet access and VoIP, as well as multicast based services. Newtec's modems are engineered to operate with the latest generation of high throughput Ka-band satellites, enabling much higher throughput than has previously been possible.
Serge Van Herck, CEO of Newtec, said: "We believe there is a high demand in Iraq for satellite Internet access and we are very pleased to be working with our partners Bentley Walker and Avanti to deliver a new service offering in the region. Our VSAT terminals have been developed to keep operational costs down whilst maintaining maximum quality and ensuring the optimal link for each and every end user."
Newtec has already delivered thousands of terminals for Bentley Walker's Freedomsat service in Libya, which was launched only one year ago. Several of Newtec's VSAT hubs have already been deployed by Avanti and are currently being operated from Avanti's teleport in Cyprus, enabling service deployment towards the various HTS Ka-band spotbeams on the HYLAS 2 Ka-band satellite.
