Personal profile
Research interests
My main research interests are in corporate harm, corporate power, and business regulation, particularly in field of the commercial determinants of health. My current projects centre on the stabilisation of corporate scientific knowledge, the deterrent effects of enforcement action against large businesses, elite welfare, and the civil and political ties of financial elites.
Before joining the University of Bristol, I was a reader in Sociology at Aston University. Prior to that, I was at the University of Bath, where I worked on the corporate political activity of tobacco companies.
I welcome applications from PhD students in any of my research interests.
