Overview
I am a senior lecturer in the School of Social Sciences.
My doctorate is in Philosophy and I also have a Master Mariner's certificate. My research and teaching reflect these twin interests in Philosophy and Seafaring.
I came to the School of Sciences as a lecturer from a position in the Seafarers International Research Centre (SIRC), where I was a Principal Researcher and Assistant Director. Before working in SIRC, I was a sea-going ship's officer.
With my seafaring background, my research has focused primarily on the maritime sector and issues of work-related health, risk, and safety in the context of global social and economic processes. More recently, I have been researching seafarer terms and conditions of employment and how seafarers understand differential treatment. This research has led to several papers theorising social justice in transnational contexts.
I teach undergraduates and postgraduates. My main teaching is as follows
- Research Methods and Design (MSc and Professional Doctorate)
- Globalisation (1st year undergraduates)
- Equality and Social Justice in a Globalised World (3rd Yr undergraduates)
I also supervise undergraduate, MSc, and Ph.D. dissertations.
I have examined and chaired a number of Ph.D. dissertations
