Profile
I am a postgraduate researcher with the department of People, Work and Employment at Leeds University Business School. I joined the PhD programme in October 2024, funded by a departmental scholarship. My interest in work and employment grew from my experiences of work in the service economy for over ten years. I am passionate about both learning and teaching sociology, and hope to contribute to our understanding of the social world through my research.
Research interests
My current PhD research is exploring worker cooperative regeneration and degeneration through the identities of their workers.
My wider research interests include:
- Degrowth
- Post-work futures
- Occupational Identities
- Autonomy at work
- Work-life balance
