Biography

I joined the School of Management in September 2005, having previously taught at the University of Leeds and Nottingham Trent University. I hold a PhD in economics, an MA in economics and a BSc in economics and mathematics, all awarded by the University of Leeds. I am a member of the writing collective The Free Association and an editor of Turbulence: Ideas for Movement. 

Research Interests

I have a range of research interests. I have written on value theory and its relationship to the problematic of measure; the political economy of education; globalisation; time, working hours and productivity; and social movements and anticapitalism. At the moment, my research focuses on critiques of finance, and finance and ethics.
