Personal details

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.

Research
I am interested in 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 funded research projects with a number of third sector organisations, including the TUC, individual trade unions, the National Trust and City of London Open Spaces, and held grants from European Social Fund and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
Highlighted Research Project 1: The Management of Volunteers
Since 2013, Jenna Ward (Coventry University) and I have been involved in a research project exploring the differences between the management of volunteers and the management of paid staff in the voluntary sector. This has involved commissioned research by the National Trust and the City of London Open Spaces.
See a report of the findings from the National Trust project here.

This research has been produced as one of the REF2021 Impact Case Studies
This research has been part of the successful bid to the ESRC Impact Accelerator Account for a Strategic Partnership
Highlighted Research Project 2: Clean Break: Women, Theatre, Organisations and the Criminal Justice System' AHRC Large Grant
In collaboration with PI Professor Caoimhe McAvinchey, Queen Mary, University of London; Dr Deborah Dean, Warwick University and Dr Sarah Bartley, Reading University. Running from 2019-2021, this research project is the first interdisciplinary examination of Clean Break, situating four decades of organisational and artistic practice within a context of policy and practice affecting women's experience of criminal justice. It will analyse the company's contribution to contemporary British theatre, its impact on the lives of women participants and on professional partners in theatre, criminal justice and the women's sector. In addition, it draws on the expertise of work and employment scholars, to examine the implications of Clean Break's distinctive and unusual organisational practices for both arts and non-arts management and leadership. This is particularly in relation to stakeholder voice and equality and diversity issues in its management practices and artistic, engagement and education programmes.
