My research and knowledge exchange interests in my work at the University of Strathclyde are around the intersection of political science and social policy, viz. the use of policy instruments, policy discourses, and the exercise of power in the implementation of social policy. I have a particular interest in exploring these themes, but also ethical issues, across the use of digital technologies in health and social care (for example telecare technologies) and in the 'personalisation' of social care. My teaching interests are in a similar vein but a broader arc; contemporary social policy, ethics, and interprofessional working across the human services. I am a Fellow of the RSA.
