Biography

I am Reader in Education & Public Policy at the University of Glasgow. I am an active researcher in the fields of education and public policy, with current research interests including: accountability, bureaucracy and the politics of public sector reform; governance and management of education systems/profession; sociology of education/social theory in applied settings; relationship between theory and research methods; and EU social policy. Recent and forthcoming books include the single authored textbook Social theory: a new introduction (Palgrave, 2021); the co-edited collection Social theory and the politics of higher education (Bloomsbury, 2021), and the full revised second edition of Social theory and education research: Understanding Foucault, Bourdieu, Habermas and Derrida (Routledge, 2022).

I serve on the editorial boards of a range of journals, including the American Education Research Journal, The British Journal of Sociology of Education and Teaching in Higher Education.

My work is strongly interdisciplinary in nature, with a particular focus on the intersection between education and public administration - see my most recent book (with Sarah St. John) Education and public policy in the European Union: Crossing boundaries. Intellectually I work across the fields of sociology, social policy, public administration, law and education studies. This interest is reflected in the range of journals I have published in, as well as the research topics I have engaged with. I have an established international profile in the fields of social theory and education and social research, and it is here that my interdisciplinary focus comes most to the fore. The application of social theory in research settings has been a strong focus of my recent books, including:

The purpose of these books is to examine the various ways in which social theory is and can be applied in education and other research settings, and as such are contributions to debates over research design and research methodologies in particular. These publications are supported by the website I created and co-edit www.socialtheoryapplied.com

My book series with Bloomsbury Press, entitled Social Theory and Methodology in Education Research was launched in 2017 and has attracted considerable interest internationally. There are now 10 books under contract, with others awaiting decisions.

I have published widely, with numerous articles in journals such as the Journal of Education Policy, Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, International Journal of Lifelong Education and the British Journal of Sociology of Education. I have completed a range of research projects in education, including studies on widening access to higher education, the higher education student experience, leadership and management in higher education and the impact of accountability mechanisms on front-line services.

I have a strong commitment to the use of social media in social research, as evidenced in my various contributions to education websites, including my role as creator of www.socialtheoryapplied.com.
