Personal details
I joined the School of Business in September 2017. I have previously worked at De Montfort, Warwick, Aston and North London universities. I have extensive expertise in researching employment relations and equality and diversity issues in areas of work that stand outside of the standard employment relationship.
Teaching
- Human Resource Management in a Business Context (MN7367)
Administrative responsibilities
- Associate Dean - Research
Research
A particular interest is the interface between work, life, family and community, particularly in areas of work where a sense of calling, mission or activism are required. This has included research exploring the experiences of workplace trade union reps, the employment context of women clergy, the careers of diversity consultants, and the management of volunteers. I have been involved with research projects with a number of third sector organisations, including the TUC, individual trade unions, the National Trust and City of London Open Spaces.
