About
I joined Kingston in 2022. From 2005 to 2022, I worked in the Department of Political Economy at the University of Sydney and before that at the Universities of Leeds, Bristol and the West of England.
My principal research interests are in global political economy and in Marxism.
My most recent books are on Keynes and Marx (Manchester University Press 2021), Neither Free Trade nor Protection (Edward Elgar 2015) and The Political Economy of Global Capitalism and Crisis (Routledge 2014). I also edited A Research Agenda for Critical Political Economy (Edward Elgar 2020).
Qualifications
- PhD, International Political Economy, University of the West of England
- MSc, Politics and Sociology, Birkbeck College, University of London
- Graduate Certificate in Education, University of Leeds
- BSc, Physics, University of York
Domains
I teach on the modules Becoming an Economist, Contemporary Issues in Economics, Development Economics, International Trade and Finance and Working as an Economist.
I have previously taught a range of subjects in political economy, including Money and Finance, International Economy and Finance, Theories of Political Economy, and International Trade.
Courses taught
My principle research interests are in Marx, Keynes, and the global political economy; particularly around issues of work and labour, of trade and of money and finance.
I am interested in supervising research projects in these and other areas from heterodox economic perspectives.
