Personal profile

Personal Statement

I am a Senior Lecturer in International Management, with a teaching focus on cross-cultural management, global employment, and work in the international economy. I joined the University of Strathclyde after completing my PhD in Culture from the University of Sunderland.

My research focuses on work and employment in Global South contexts, including sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil, India, and Southeast and Central Asia. I explore pertinent issues through various lenses, such as the capabilities approach, social justice and rights-based frameworks, and health and wellbeing. I collaborate with academics, non-governmental organisations, policy-makers, employers, and trade unions to conduct research that aims to generate meaningful 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.

Teaching Interests

I am the deputy programme director for the Intergrated Masters in International Business and Modern Languages (MIBML), and the programme director (Management) for the MSc Finance and Management degree.

I teach Introduction to International Business; International Business Analysis; Organising and Managing accross Cultures; Contemporary Issues and Trends in International Business; People, Work and the Global Economy; Comparative Employment Relations; Labour and Diversity and Research Methods for Projects.

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.
