I studied for my undergraduate degree at Stirling and my master’s degree at the University of Kent at Canterbury. Before embarking on my academic career I gained retail experience by working for Barkers of Kensington and Harrods. I joined the Institute for Retail Studies initially as a Research Fellow on two retail specific projects, before taking up a lectureship with the MBA in Retailing Distance Learning Programme. I currently hold a post of Senior Lectureship within the School of Management.
Research Group: Institute for Socio- ManagementMy main research interests are in the broad area of gender and management. Much of my research has been in the area of human resource management within the retail sector. In particular this has focused on gender differentiation, managerial career development issues and stress.
