Research:

I am a qualitative researcher focusing on work-related inequalities, particularly those experienced by marginalised worker groups. My philosophical orientation is housed within the Critical Management Studies and Critical Theories domains. Some of my current, dedicated research interests include - age and ageing at work, age identity in digital work spaces and philosophies of age and work-ageing. My research has been published in Organization Studies, Work, Employment and Society, Gender, Work & Organization and The Conversation. I am the author of the book ‘Advanced Human Resource Management: Theories and Concepts for HR Practice’ (Kogan Page).
