I am a Lecturer in Employment Relations.
Prior to my current post, I was a Research Fellow at Cardiff Business School working on an ESRC supported project entitled 'Gaining Collaborative Advantages: The Changing Role of Employers' Organisations in the British Economy'.
My doctorate examined government intervention in the Welsh economy throughout the late twentieth century. Before obtaining my doctorate, I worked on economic development research and policy across local government and consultancy.
