Champions of Cambridge: Wolfson College triumphant after historic basketball cuppers win

BA PGCE MA MRes PhD
Dr Monrose is an urban ethnographer at Cambridge Sociology. He is also an undergraduate tutor, PhD mentor and the convener for the Race, Ethnicity & Faith working group here at Wolfson College.
His interests lie in the areas of criminal justice, 'race', identities and is particularly interested in the impact of Afro-descendent music within and around the Black Atlantic.
He completed a PhD in Sociology in 2013. His doctoral thesis was a qualitative study centered in East London, examining the life course of maturing black men, with a focus on criminal preclusion and non-criminal participation. The study made an original contribution to knowledge by highlighting the scholarly omission of black adult male populations within academic deliberation on 'race' and crime. The thesis highlighted the continued confinements of prejudice, discrimination, and everyday racisms in the lives of black men, whilst rigorously engaging with several related areas such as familial configuration, identities, and social position.
Kenny has acted as a Research Fellow in collaboration with the Mayors of London’s office for policing and crime, examining the development of specialist support services for young people who have been victims of crime, abuse and/or violence.

He is an affiliate at The Centre for Screen & Film within the Faculty of Modern & Medieval Languages & Linguistics, and a member of Centre for the study of Global Human Movement at the University of Cambridge. He is also an advisory board member for Education & Culture at the South Bank Centre London.

Phenotypic plasticity enables animals to flexibly adjust their behaviour to their social environment – sometimes through the expression of adaptive traits that have not been exhibited for several generations. The ability to revive these ‘ghosts of adaptations past’ could prove beneficial for populations living in a changing world.
