项目摘要

This fellowship offers an exciting opportunity to consolidate and disseminate my PhD research. It alsoallows me to formulate a new research project which will build upon my interests, knowledge andexperience. There are three primary aims of the fellowship. Firstly, it will help to develop my career andskills as an academic researcher. To this end, the fellowship will provide me with the time andresources to produce a publication related to my PhD research; extend my analytic and writing skills;and work alongside, and learn from a mentor with similar research interests.Secondly, throughout the fellowship I will disseminate my research findings to a wide range of academicand non-academic audiences. It is important to highlight that my doctoral project was highly original inthat it identified and helped to fill a notable absence in the academic literature about the role andfunction of a critical legal actor who has been much neglected, namely the Crown Court clerk. Mostmaterial in the field tends to focus on the perspectives of elite participants in the trial such as judges,barristers and solicitors. It is surprising that although the Crown Court clerk plays a pivotal role in trialsof the most serious criminal offences such as murder, rape and burglary, very little has been writtenabout them. My research has also uncovered previously untold accounts about radical reform to theadministration of justice in 1972, and its long-term impact upon the courts system. The shift towards amodern system of Crown Courts in the 1970s represented the most fundamental change to our legalsystem to have occurred in centuries.Within the academy, I will deliver a presentation of my PhD findings at an event hosted by the LegalBiography Project (LBP) at the LSE. I will also share and debate my work as part of a seminar seriesco-convened by the Institute of Historical Research, School of Advanced Study University of London,and the Oral History Society. In addition, I plan to co-produce a workshop on legal life writing with theOxford Centre for Life Writing, Wolfson College, University of Oxford, and feminist legal historian andbiographer, Professor Rosemary Auchmuty, where we will present our different methodological andinterpretive approaches to legal biography.Beyond the research community, I will collaborate with the National Justice Museum (NJM) and enrichtheir legal education and public engagement programmes. I will deliver professional developmenttraining to NJM staff and volunteers on different subjects related to my PhD findings. These include: thepivotal role and function of the Crown Court clerk and key changes to their work over the past 45 years;fundamental reform to the administration of justice in 1972 and its long-term impact upon the courtssystem; and oral history practice. I will extend and enrich the existing NJM Courtroom WorkshopsProgramme by designing activities for pupils that are specific to the Crown Court clerk's keyresponsibilities. More than 25,000 primary and secondary school pupils (7-18 year olds) participate inthese workshops in courts around the country each year. I will also create an educational resource forthe NJM website for teachers to download concerning the Crown Court clerk's important contribution tothe administration of justice system.Thirdly, the fellowship will provide me with the opportunity to pursue my research interests in oral historyand non-elite, marginalized and minority voices in the criminal justice system. I will develop a fundingproposal for a socio-legal research project that focuses on oral history and women offenders. This areaof scholarship builds upon research I have carried out at MA level related to telling difficult andtraumatic life stories in ways that are ethical, empowering and avoid re-traumatisation.

这个奖学金提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，巩固和传播我的博士研究。它也使我能够制定一个新的研究项目，这将建立在我的兴趣，知识和经验。该研究金有三个主要目标。首先，它将有助于发展我的职业生涯和技能作为一个学术研究.为此，奖学金将为我提供时间和资源，让我能够出版与我的博士研究相关的出版物;扩展我的分析和写作技能;与具有类似研究兴趣的导师一起工作并向其学习。其次，在整个奖学金期间，我将向广泛的学术和非学术受众传播我的研究成果。重要的是要强调，我的博士项目是非常原始的，因为它确定并帮助填补了学术文献中关于一个被忽视的关键法律的演员的角色和功能的显着缺失，即刑事法院书记员。该领域的大多数材料往往侧重于审判中精英参与者的观点，如法官，大律师和律师。令人惊讶的是，尽管刑事法庭书记员在诸如谋杀、强奸和入室盗窃等最严重刑事犯罪的审判中起着关键作用，但关于这些罪行的报道却很少。我的研究还发现了以前不为人知的关于1972年司法行政的激进改革及其对法院系统的长期影响的报道。20世纪70年代向现代刑事法院系统的转变代表了几个世纪以来我们的法律制度发生的最根本的变化。在学院内，我将在LSE的LegalBiography Project（LBP）主办的活动上发表我的博士研究成果。我也将分享和辩论我的工作作为一个研讨会系列的一部分，由历史研究所，高级研究学院伦敦大学和口述历史学会共同召开。此外，我计划与牛津大学沃尔夫森学院牛津生活写作中心和女权主义法律的历史学家和传记作家迷迭香Auchmuty教授共同制作一个关于法律的生活写作的研讨会，在那里我们将展示我们对法律的传记的不同方法论和解释方法。我将与国家司法博物馆合作，丰富其法律的教育和公众参与方案。我将提供专业发展培训NJM的工作人员和志愿者在不同的主题与我的博士研究结果。其中包括：皇家法院书记员的关键作用和职能及其在过去45年中工作的关键变化; 1972年司法行政的根本改革及其对法院系统的长期影响;以及口述历史实践。我将通过为刑事法院书记员的主要职责所特有的学生设计活动，来扩展和丰富现有的NJM课程研讨会计划。每年有25，000多名中小学生（7-18奥尔兹）参加在全国各地法院举办的这些讲习班。我还将为NJM网站创建一个教育资源，供教师下载有关刑事法院书记员对司法系统的重要贡献。第三，奖学金将为我提供机会，继续我在口述历史和刑事司法系统中的非精英，边缘化和少数民族声音方面的研究兴趣。我将为一个社会法律研究项目提出一份资助建议，该项目的重点是口述历史和女性罪犯。这一领域的奖学金建立在我在硕士水平上进行的研究的基础上，该研究涉及以道德、赋权和避免再次创伤的方式讲述困难和创伤性的生活故事。
