Biography
Biography I joined Middlesex University in September 2016 as an
associate lecturer in Human Resource Management. I became a senior lecturer in
Organisational Behaviour and Employment Relations in September 2019. Prior to joining Middlesex University I completed a PhD at
the University of Greenwich on ‘Industrial
policy, skill formation, and job quality in the Danish, German and English
offshore wind turbine industries.’ During that time I also worked on
the European Research Council-funded project 'The Effects of Marketization on
Societies' (Primary Investigator: Ian Greer) and the project 'The Marketization of Employment Services: Dilemmas of Europe's Work-first Welfare States', which was funded by the
German Hans-Boeckler-Foundation.
My comparative PhD research has shown the importance of
stable institutions and industrial policy and explored the effects of different
approaches to industrial policy on job quality, skill formation and industrial
development in different national, regional and firm level contexts. I have
continued studying the wind turbine industry in the following years and revisited
some of my earlier company cases in the British Academy funded research project "Wind energy and the Just
Transition: Political and socio-economic pinch points in wind turbine
manufacturing and windfarm communities in Europe and South Africa"
(Grant COVJT210011) this time with a team of five researchers. We
expanded the comparison to South Africa and Scotland and the focus to wind farm
communities and research participants’ definition and perception of the Just
Transition. Our research showed how the concept Just Transition is a contested
one and how even within the wider wind energy sector there are conflicts of
interests which are difficult to reconcile, but which need to be addressed by
policy markers and other actors to keep wide ranging support for the energy
transition.
Teaching I am currently
teaching in the area of workforce management and wellbeing at work. I am supervising
MA theses in Management with a focus on Human Resource Management, Sociology of
Work, Sustainability and Marketing. I am contributing
to the Professional Doctorate Programme in Transdisciplinary Practice as
internal examiner and supervisor and to Middlesex University’s collaborative Doctoral
Programme with KMU, Austria as Defensio Chair.
I am currently
supervising one PhD student. I will be accepting new PhD students from January 2025 preferably in the area of energy industry studies, studies of structural change with a focus on worker outcomes and participation, studies of community empowerment within the energy transition with a qualitative research design.
