I joined the University of Leeds in 1998 as a Lecturer in Economics, having previously completed my PhD at the same institution. I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2004 and to Professor in 2013.

My research lies in labour economics and political economy. I adopt an interdisciplinary approach in both research and teaching and engage with ideas from the history of economic thought. My research focuses on the conception of work within economics and other disciplines. I am eager to explore the nature and limits of economics as a way to understand the world as it exists now and how it might exist in the future.
