Research interests
My research examines the impact of policy on work organisations, households and individuals. I am particularly interested in policy outcomes which affect gender relations and gender equality, examining how work-family policies are implemented at work, focusing particularly on fathers and their take-up of paternity and parental leave policies as well as flexible and other working practices.
My 2020-23 Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship used interviews and documentary analysis to review policy on women and employment in the New Labour years and subsequently. It resulted in a monograph, Women and Employment in Public Policy (OUP, 2024): free sample chapter.
Previous research has been funded by the AHRC, British Academy, British Council, ESRC, the French government and French family benefits agency, and the Big Lottery. I have also acted as consultant on gender equality projects for the EU and a UK government department.
I am a member of the academic advisory group of the national charity Working Lives, and since 2023 co-chair.
I am a member of the international Gender Equality Policy in Practice network.
