Sitting Down with Scholars 48

What does it mean to research a subject you have lived through? Jenny Dazzle shares not only her research journey but her personal experience of her subject. She is using that lived experience to research what is widely misunderstood and under-studied: the long-term impact of homicide on the friends and families left behind. Working with the charity Support After Murder and Manslaughter, and drawing on autoethnography alongside interview research, Jenny is building a body of work that centres survivor voices rather than offender narratives. In this episode, we talk about the gaps in victim-centred justice, the desensitisation driven by true crime media, parole reform, and why she refuses to let her thesis become, in her words, a book of dread.
