Professor Martina Feilzer

Professor in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Bangor University

Martina is a criminologist with extensive experience in research and her interests lie in three main areas – surveillance practices and their impact in democratic states; organisational practices and legitimacy in criminal justice; and the role of pragmatism as a research philosophy.  Her passion for the Advisory Group for Researcher Development has built over time – Martina was the Chair of the Researcher Development and Concordat Group at Bangor University between 2018 and 2023 and was involved in setting up the All-Wales Research Leadership Programme. Researcher development across all stages of an academic career and the different organisations that make up the research landscape is key to a sound and resilient research and innovation ecosystem in Wales.
