Profile image for Caroline Miller

I joined Keele University as a lecturer in September, 2006. Prior to that I successfully completed a Masters in Research here in 2003 and a PhD in 2007. I have a degree in Business Studies and English from MMU. Before coming to Keele I was employed as a researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University, and have many years experience in sales and marketing in the steel industry. My research and writing is in the area of women’s business and I have a particular interest in consumption and identity.

My PhD is critical, empirical, phenomenological, feminist and post structural. The PhD was funded by The ‘Grigor McClelland’ competitive scholarship awarded by The Society for the Advancement of Management Studies in 2003. It explores: the reasons why women who are interested in starting up in business often fail to succeed, looking at the process of start-up and how entrepreneurship is produced as a male domain. The substantive themes of my PhD focus upon time, space, gender, identity, social inclusion/exclusion and consumption. It is significantly different from previous research on this topic as it explores start-up as an act of transgression and explores the small business space as a place of performance rather than economic gain.
