I am a Research Associate in SCER and have worked across a number of projects in the centre, as well as in the department, since 2002 in research areas that include workplace innovation, job quality, low wage work, union learning, HR analytics, workplace equalities and labour market policies. I have also worked on projects elsewhere such as the student experience project and student's part-time employment in CRLL and an evaluation of the DWP/NHS CMP with the School of Health and Social Care, both at Glasgow Caledonian University. Current programme of work includes an ESRC funded project on Improving Management Practices, Work Engagement & Workplace Innovation for Productivity & Wellbeing.

My main research interests include job quality, worker health and productivity, workplace equalities and employment practices in SMEs.
