Research
My research examines the changing world of work through the lenses of employment relations, intersectionality, and critical management studies. I am particularly interested in how power, inequality, and recognition operate within organisations, professions, and academic institutions. My work draws on qualitative and comparative methods to amplify perspectives that are often marginalised in mainstream management scholarship.
Flexibility, Work Design & Employment Relations
How do professionals negotiate flexible working arrangements, and what role do HR systems, organisational culture, and professional norms play? My doctoral research examined flexibility i-deals among female lawyers in the UK, and I continue to explore how the architecture of work is negotiated, resisted, and redesigned.

Gender, Intersectionality & Inequality at Work
Moving beyond single-axis analyses, I investigate how intersecting identities shape experiences of inclusion, exclusion, and aesthetic labour across sectors and geographies. My work spans law firms, education, retail, and corporate governance, uncovering dynamics that conventional diversity frameworks often miss.
Key publications:
Global Mobility
What motivates professionals — particularly marginalised women — to relocate across borders? My research reveals how safety, recognition, and belonging act as powerful but under-recognised drivers of expatriation, challenging traditional models that centre career advancement and economic incentives.
