Personal profile
General
I am a political sociologist with interests in the commercial determinants of health and corporate harm.
Research Interests
My research explores the interdependencies between global health policy, evidence-based policy-making, corporate political influence and social harm. My current work covers: the relationship between corporations, science, and policy-related evidence; business influence in shaping the underlying administrative architecture of policy-making; the intersections of corporate political influence, international trade and investment agreements and public policy; and the political uses of corporate social responsibility.
Teaching Activity
I currently teach Health Policy and Corporate Power.
PhD Supervision
I am open to supervising PhD students with an interest in the commercial determinants of health, health and public policy, corporate influence in public policy, business regulation, business involvement in health services, and corporate social responsibility.
