Background

I am Professor of Global Labour at the University of Leeds. My research interests include paid and unpaid work; gender; agency; materialist feminism; collective organising; political economy; the body; disability; sex work and social struggles. My work has been widely published academically and disseminated through radio and news media. I co-authored a monograph with Teela Sanders, entitled ‘Flexible Workers: labour, regulation and the political economy of stripping industry’ and I have published widely in academic journals including Work, Employment and Society; British Journal of Sociology; Environment and Planning D: Society and Space; Globalizations and others. I am committed to developing methodologies which work alongside research participants, in order to undertake socially and politically transformative research.
