Choose Criminology at Middlesex

My name is Mina Paduka and I'm a senior lecturer in quantitative criminology. I got to meet all the amazing community of colleagues with all the different expertise complementing each other. This is what actually got me hooked with coming into Middlesex to teac. Academically i think I'm quite well suited to here i enjoyed the topic and all the kind of avenues it explores it's helped me grow in terms of my whole social development basically transitioning from school to college to here overall develop my whole census and how I've kind of molded to that it's kind of helped a lot.
Criminology department is the oldest critical criminology department in the country we're looking into policing the criminal justice systems forensic psychology; we're looking into social issues and how these issues are transferred and approached through a criminological lens the other thing also is the level of support we have this sense of community we learn from each other we bring that into the classroom and students feel that comment on that feedback year after year consecutively.
I've received a lot of support for example from the dyslexia services i am dyslexic i do have an extension on each and every essay that I submit which is  days so they are really inclusive students are getting to know real world through practical experiences practical learning in the university. Employability embedded into their assessments we have a great support system through the MDX works offer them excellent workshops across three years or more of studies and building their curriculum building their CV their profile their employer profile. Middlesex has helped me grow in both ways personally and academically because it offers me opportunity to improve myself and most importantly it introduces me to the scheme which we have here at Middlesex the student learning assistant scheme and through that I believe I achieved so many things as part of the curriculum colleagues run learning together program in prisons so I was asked to provide a guest lecture in a prison setting I got to teach in a room of middlesex students alongside men in prison and it was amazing the information sharing the idea sharing i cannot compare any of other experiences
to that.
