Outsider status, and racialised habitus
This qualitative study explored the university experiences of 13 students from Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller (GRT) communities in England and Scotland. Using conceptual tools, informed by the work of Bourdieu, such as racialised habitus and racialised cultural capital, as well as Elias’s work on established-outsider figurations we show that GRT students are ‘racialised’ outsiders in university established white habitus, with students experiencing th…
Alternatives to Romani identity politics
The publication of these two books may mark the point at which a particular form of scepticism about the dominant Roma cultural identity politics of the last half-century moves from being the isola

However, in comparison to their host societies, the practice of early marriage remains relatively prevalent in many Romani communities. It is argued that si…
Conflict Resolution and Criminal Justice - Sorting out Trouble
Attempts by the majority community in Britain to reduce perceived criminal behaviour by Roma/Gypsies/Travellers have generally been unsuccessful. Whether attempting to apply existing laws more rigorously, to enact more repressive laws, or to enact laws which will integrate Gypsies into the majority population, all policies have foundered on a failure to understand Gypsy culture, and in particular Gypsy modes of solving conflict and repressing cri…
