I joined KMS in October 1999 from Leeds University Business School. Prior to this I completed my PhD at Manchester University (awarded 1994, School of Managment, UMIST), where I also taught and undertook post doctoral research. My research interests and publications are in the fields of sociology and critical studies in management, work and organisation; empirical research on management and management practices; and gender and diversity in organisations. I was appointed joint Editor in Chief of the journal `Gender, Work and Organization in Management 2000 and, the following year, instigated at Keele the Biennial International Interdisciplinary Conference of the journal which I continue to organise, now attracting approximately 400 international scholars in the field.
