Hi, I’m Sue….. I am a lived experience (mental health and criminal justice) researcher and university lecturer, an academic, author and a public speaker

Welcome to my website

In 2017, after a four-year mental health crisis, during which time I received a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD)*, and spent some time in prison, I became an activist and campaigner for those with personality disorder, both in the community and in prison. To see my books, articles and blogs on those years, please go to https://prisonstoriesuk.wordpress.com/ *In the UK, BPD is also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD).

By background, I am a historian, and my early academic writing was related to my particular field, which was disabled children and the second world war. On this site, I would like to share with you some of the stories I have published on this subject. See ‘historical writing’ below.

The rest of this site is dedicated to my work, since 2017, in mental health and prison reform.
