Dr Melsia Tomlin Kraftner

With a background in Management in both private and public sectors and a PhD in Sociology & Anthropology, my research interests are in gender, race, social structures and power relation theories in organisations and society, including historical entrepreneurship. 

I am currently actively researching Historical Sociology and Management within postcolonial British Caribbean societies, (mainly Jamaica). The study includes movement of people during the Windrush era (Britain), and how historical social policies have impacted race relations, enhanced poverty, stoked distrust of the criminal justice system and racism. Theories of Peasantry, Gender, Race, and Intersectionality form part of this research and aims to inform social policy on postcoloniality and the arguments on reparations to ex-British colonies.
