Personal Chair of Management and Organisation Studies
Roles and Responsibilities
I hold a Personal Chair in Management and Organisation Studies and have taught at Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Executive levels in the UK, Singapore and Sri Lanka. Prior to academia I worked in the construction industry.
My research investigates contemporary issues about the management of people in organisations, with a focus on control, identity and diversity management. I have researched, presented on and published on the topics of: control, identity and meaning in voluntary work; the corporatization of LGBTQ+ inclusion; the work and identities of digital platform workers managed by algorithms; and the identities, mental health and wellbeing of socio-economically disadvantaged students in Elite Universities. My work has been published in top-tier journals such as Organization Studies, Human Relations, Work, Employment and Society, Journal of Management Inquiry, and British Educational Research Journal and has attracted funding from UKRI, The British Academy of Management and The Royal Society of Edinburgh. From Aug 2022 - Aug 2026 I was Head of the Organisation Studies Group and a Member of the School Executive.
