Research
My research interests focus on the evolution of employment relations in the UK, with particular attention to the rise of civil regulation, multi-level governance, and the evolving roles of employers, trade unions, and the state. My work has examined the voluntary Living Wage as a case of hybrid regulatory innovation, exploring how new actors, such as civil society organisations, shape employment outcomes and interact with traditional institutions.
