Personal profile
Personal Statement
I am a lecturer in International Management. I teach sujects that pertain to cross-cultural management, work and migration in the global economy. I joined the University of Strathclyde after graduating from the University of Sunderland with a PhD in Culture.
Alongside teaching, I am also actively engaged in research with interests in work and migration in the UK/EU and global south contexts such as sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil, India, south east and central Asia.
I have explored the context of work and migration from several perspectives including a capabilities approach, social justice and rights based approaches, and health and wellbeing. I work with academics, non-governmental organisations, policy-makers, employers and trade-unions, to do research with impact.
I welcome research ideas and collaborations on the above topics from fellow academics as well as students at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels.
Outside work, my personal hobbies include running, mountain hikes and cooking.

Research Interests
My research is mainly international and twofold: first, I want to understand the dynamics of work in global south countries, from micro, meso and macro level perspectives; and second, I want to understand the experiences of workers from the global south who travel to more developed countries for work.
Work in the global economy is complex. The global south and migration patterns around it play an important part in deepening this complexity. Against this backgroumd, I am particularly interested in understanding the experiences of workers (domestic and migrant), employers and policy. This cuts accross themes such as social justice, rights, voice, dignity, , capabilities, health and wellbeing.
