Personal profile
Research Interests
My research interests lie broadly in employee relations with particular interest in the various dynamics and organisational processes that are integral to creating positive working environments. Specifically, I have interests in conflict management, partnering and collaboration, diversity and inclusion and workforce wellbeing. My work often involves examining these issues within context of the non-profit sector and health and social care, and considers the disciplines of HRM, organisational behaviour and the sociology of work.
Teaching
I have delivered a range of modules in the broad areas of Human Resource Management, Employee Relations and Organizational Behaviour and have a particular interest in teaching Negotiation and Conflict Management and enjoy teaching in the area of Diversity and Inclusion.
