Research

I am a lecturer in Business and Management at York Business School (YBS). My early research specialised in the area of gender and organisations, with my PhD. examining the impact of Athena Swan accreditation on the lived experiences of early- and mid-career researchers. I was awarded Doctorate in Management from the University of York where I continued my teaching and research activities. Following my PhD I worked as a research associate at the University of York, I worked with esteemed researchers in the area of business and sustainability particularly in relation to the Net zero carbon efforts of the UK.

At York St John University I continue to develop my research on spatial performativity and gender in organisational contexts. Recently, I presented my research at the UFHRD International Conference 2023 at the National Collage of Ireland. Also, I am a member of the departmental research group ‘PiES’ where the research group examines different aspects of people in employment settings.
