I am a labour market & welfare state researcher and Reader in Sociology and Social Policy, at the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research, University of Kent, UK.
My research interest lies in examining different labour market patterns and outcomes across welfare states, focusing mostly on flexibility at work, work-life balance, and job/employment insecurity. I am also interested in a wide range of areas related to gender equality within the labour markets and how the division of labour within households relate to this.
