He joined the team in September 2023 and has previously taught at Birmingham City University and Arden University in Criminology. Mikahil is toward the end of his doctoral research which focuses upon safety in and around the space of mosques using ethnographic methodologies.
Mikahil’s primary research area is Islamophobia and understanding the experiences of British Muslim communities using a multi-disciplinary approach. His other research interests include honour-based abuse, online crime, and structural inequalities. Mikahil works closely with the community, stakeholders, and wider academic spaces informing them of prominent criminological issues and recommends strategies on how to counter these issues.
Mikahil applies a ‘blended learning’ approach to his sessions, thus maximising inclusivity and ensuring all students benefit from the sessions.
