Supervision

I welcome enquiries from prospective doctoral candidates whose research interests align with my expertise in digital business, Information Systems, surveillance studies, and the critical study of digital technologies in organisational settings.

I am particularly interested in supervising doctoral projects that examine how digital systems reshape work, management, organisations, and wider society. My main areas of supervision interest include Information Systems, workplace surveillance, digital workplace monitoring, algorithmic surveillance, algorithmic management, digital transparency, trust, resistance, privacy, data governance, digital ethics, digital business, and the organisational consequences of data-driven technologies.

I am especially suited to projects that take a critical, sociotechnical, organisational, or qualitative approach to Information Systems and digital technologies. This includes studies that examine how digital systems are implemented, interpreted, resisted, governed, or experienced by employees, managers, organisations, and other stakeholders. I am also interested in conceptual and theory-building research that develops new frameworks, typologies, or models for understanding digital surveillance, organisational visibility, and digital control.

I have supervised doctoral candidates to completion, examined doctoral students across the UK, and chaired doctoral examinations. A key part of my supervision approach is supporting doctoral candidates’ development during and beyond the PhD by helping them build the skills, knowledge, confidence, and academic capabilities that can support their future careers. I have also created and led international mentoring programmes, and have mentored many doctoral candidates and early career researchers from around the world. I have also delivered doctoral workshops and consortia on qualitative research methods, systematic literature reviews, academic writing, and publishing doctoral research.

Prospective doctoral candidates are welcome to contact me with a short research proposal or outline. This should include the proposed topic, research problem, possible research questions, intended methodology, and an explanation of how the project aligns with my research interests.
