Biography

My undergraduate and postgraduate degrees are in politics (University of Durham) and political philosophy (University of York). I have a PhD in social policy (Massey University, New Zealand) and my thesis explored the emergence of social science knowledge.

Following a stint during 1991 as research assistant in education policy, I joined the Social Policy Research Unit, within the School for Business and Society here at York. Between 1992 and 1996 I was a research fellow on various externally funded projects focused on the organisation and delivery of health and social services, and disability employment policy.

Between 1997 and 2006 I spent a decade in New Zealand based at Massey University (Auckland) teaching policy studies. I returned to York in January 2007.

I was Provost of James College 2007-2013. I oversaw the MPA (CASPPER) Programme 2014-2024.

I was a member of the REF assessment sub-panel (Unit 20 Social Policy and Social Work) for the REF 2021.

My current leadership roles focuses on the development and delivery of collaborative and TNE activities with overseas partners.
