Supervision

I act as main supervisor (*) or member of supervisory panels of the following PhD research sudents

Jenny Harlock* Governance and the voluntary sector in public service delivery
Hester Kan* Public services reform and processes of cross-national learning in the European Union
Kate Hamblin Governance and policies for older workers in the European Union
Antonios Roumpakis
Welfare state retrenchment and  pension systems in Europe
Natasha DuRose

Women's experience of drug use

 

My research is in the following areas: politics and governance of the European Union, esp. 'Europeanisation'; politics and governance of welfare in Britain and Europe; discourse, power and policymaking; the theory and practice of social democratic politics; I am particularly interested in engaging with these broad theoretical interests in Europe and comparatively, and I interpret 'social policy' very broadly.

I enjoy supervising, supporting and learning with PhD students, and I expect and encourage them to engage with the broader intellectual life of the Department and the European Research Institute in Bath, and beyond.
