Dr David Maguire has researched and managed projects for excluded groups across sectors that include housing, education, prison and the wider criminal justice system. In 2016 he was awarded D.Phil. (PhD) from the University of Oxford for research focusing on the interplay between masculinity, education, (un)employment, crime and imprisonment. After holding Lectureship positions in Criminal Justice, Criminology and Sociology, David took up a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at UCL’s Institute of Education that explored post prison transitions into employment and education. He has written and published on prison masculinities, and is the author of Male, Failed, Jailed : Masculinities and "Revolving-Door" Imprisonment in the UK. He is currently the Director for the Prison Reform Trust's Building Futures project, a five-year programme for prisoners who are serving or have served 10 or more years in prison.
