Senior Research Associate, Lancaster University
Senior Research Associate at Lancaster University primarily interested in decent work, corporate social responsibility, living wages, active labour market policy, and the future of work. I am currently employed as a researcher on the Inclusive Remote and Hybrid Working Study, exploring disabled workers' experiences of remote and hybrid working (more information at https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/inclusive-working/).
Prior to this I was a Postdoctoral Researcher on the “Universal Credit and Employers” project, led by Dr Katy Jones of Manchester Metropolitan University, which sought to explore employer views of active labour market policies (ALMPs) and the requirements that underpin Universal Credit for people who are unemployed and workers on a low income (final report at https://www.mmu.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2023-01/UniversalCreditandEmployersFinalReportJan2023.pdf).
My PhD thesis (conducted at the University of Leeds) explored the multi-dimensional impact of the Real Living Wage on the UK employment landscape through a focus on the experiences of workers, employers and advocates (https://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/28221/). Prior to this I was employed as a researcher at the International Labour Organisation, Geneva (focusing on the Decent Work Agenda).
