Biography

I have a BA, MBA and PhD from Keele University, and previously taught and researched at the Universities of Keele and Aberystwyth before joining the School of Management in February 2010.

Research Interests

My research interests take as their central theme the idea of the military as organisation and organising principle. Previous researches have turned on a range of intersecting themes in this regard including: collective memory, the postmodern, the body, gender, and popular culture. I am currently engaged in three main projects. The first sets out to explore the recent (re)emergence of private military companies, read through the lens of organisation theory. The second looks at experiences of military service and war through the autobiographical accounts of serving soldiers. The third reflects a developing interest in the historical analysis of military thinking and practice and its interconnections with the rise of western management and organisation theory.

PhD Supervision

I would be interested in supervising PhD study in the following areas:

• Military, militarism and organisation
• Masculinities, markets and organisation
• Popular culture and/in organisation studies
• Critical readings of strategic management
