Ms Hannah Lewis

Research Fellow

School of Business, Law & Policing

I conduct research and support Research, Enterprise and Knowledge Mobilisation (REKM) activity across the School of Business Law and Policing.

I teach research skills to undergraduate and postgraduate students and support the operations of the Canterbury Centre for Policing Research (CCPR). My current research interests include Heritage Crime and Heritage Tourism. I joined the School in 2014 working as Finance Manager on the project “Effective 24/7 Points of Contact for international cooperation on cybercrime and electronic evidence: promotion of good practices” funded by the European Commission. I have previously worked as a Project Manager and have a Masters in Arts and Cultural Management.
