Présentation
After completing an LLB Law with French degree at the University of Birmingham in 2000, Emma moved to France where she started teaching at Lyon II University. In 2003, she began work on a PhD on New Labour's penal policy (defended in 2008). A reworked version of this thesis was published in English as Criminal Justice and Neoliberalism (Palgrave, 2011). Emma was appointed as a senior lecturer at the University of Savoie in 2009 where she began working on other manifestations of authoritarianism in the British State, notably in welfare policy, demonstrating how neoliberalism has constrained rather than advanced the freedom of ordinary citizens. She published Soft Power and Freedom under the Coalition in 2015 (Palgrave), the year she also defended her habilitation. She was appointed as a Full Professor in 2016. Most recently, she has been working on challenges to state authoritarianism and the rise of national populism. She is particularly interested in how positive placeism might be advanced through local democratic praxis and commoning.
