Topics interested in supervising
I'd be glad to work with any student wanting to think critically and imaginatively about policy and governance. I'll leave it to you to decide whether those terms fit or can be made to fit for you. I'm currently supervising postgraduates writing about agency, emotion, engagement, gender, knowledge, identity, mobility, migration, mapping, participation and practice, and in contexts ranging from the Department of Health, the European Commission, the UN, the Labour Party, community development, primary health care, social services and workers' hostels. My own work tries to connect cross-national and comparative social and public policy with the sociology of knowledge. I'm increasingly interested in problems of practice, in what it is that policy makers do when they go to work. More at http://www.richardfreeman.info/.
