Angelique Mulholland

Angelique Mulholland is a Research Assistant on the ‘Desistance after Imprisonment Abroad’ research project.

Angelique’s research interests stem from her former career in education, working with adult men who have had contact with the justice system and young people at risk of exclusion from state schools. Her PhD research, undertaken at the Institute of Education, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, has focussed on the intersection between the educational trajectories and gender identities of adult male prison leavers, with a specific focus on how participants’ desistance journeys are negotiated after release from incarceration. Her first peer reviewed article on disrupting the ‘School to Prison Pipeline’ is due to be published in October 2025 in the ‘Prison Service Journal’.

More broadly, Angelique’s research interests include decolonisation theory, poststructuralist feminist analysis, narrative criminology as well as a growing interest in mixed methods approaches in criminal and social justice research.

Angelique has been teaching for over 20 years. She has most recently enjoyed lecturing and tutoring at UCL, and supervising students on undergraduate programmes at Cambridge.
