Willing to speak to media
I am a Lecturer in Critical Organisation Studies whose main research interest is the gender inequity experienced by working parents (in paid employment). I explore the influence of patriarchal discourse on individuals in organisational contexts, particularly the motherhood penalty and patriarchal dividend. I draw critical perspectives, emphasising hybrid and caring masculinities, and the work of Raewyn Connell (masculine re-embodiment) and Joan Acker (Gendered Organisations) to problematise the ideal worker-breadwinner-motherhood penalty triad of gendered working. My PhD used dystopian fiction and critical discourse analysis as a transdisciplinary, critical approach to gender research in organisations. I also use fiction as a subversive means of writing differently. Finally, I established and proudly lead the Northumbria University Parents and Carers Network in 2020. I founded this network on the principles of solidarity and the provision of a visible, supportive community for staff and students in the University.
