Topics interested in supervising
I'd be glad to work with any student wanting to think critically and imaginatively about politics, policy and governance. I've recently supervised postgrads and postdocs 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, education, social services and workers' hostels. My own research and teaching is concerned with what people do when they do politics, with its modes of action and all the work it entails. More on my website.
