I’m driven by a commitment to making workplaces genuinely inclusive, and this shapes everything I do. My research develops across two interconnected streams: first, understanding why diversity practices that succeed in one context often fail in another; exploring the cultural, relational and temporal dimensions of inclusion globally. Second, investigating how AI and algorithmic systems are reshaping workplace inclusion, for better or worse.
I co-developed the concept of ‘timeism‘: the systematic exclusion of people whose temporal rhythms don’t fit institutionalised norms, which has opened new ways of understanding how organisations inadvertently disadvantage workers with different needs. As Co-Director of the Nottingham EDI in Research Hub, I’m building connections across research, practice and policy to advance inclusive research culture.
For practitioners
I work with organisations across sectors on inclusion in hybrid and technology-enabled workplaces, from NHS trusts to multinational corporations. If you’re grappling with challenges around neurodiversity, remote working, talent acquisition, or embedding EDI into organisational practice, I’d welcome a conversation. I also contribute to ISO standards development on AI, gender equality and human capital, so if you’re navigating these frameworks, I can help bridge the gap between policy and practice.
For students and scholars
I supervise PGRs working on inclusion, the future of work, and AI in HR, several funded through ESRC and international scholarships. If you’re considering doctoral research that challenges conventional thinking about how inclusion actually works in organisations, get in touch. I’m particularly interested in projects exploring algorithmic decision-making, temporal exclusion, or inclusion across different cultural contexts.
Get in touch
Whether you’re a researcher, practitioner or policymaker, I’m always keen to connect with others committed to making workplaces work better for everyone.
