Biography

I joined the University of Glasgow in 2001 and have been Professor of Sociology since 2005. Previously I held a lectureship at the University of Strathclyde (1998-2001), a senior fellowship at the Policy Studies Institute, London (1992-1998) and a research fellowship at the University of Warwick (1990-1992). My research focuses on understanding the entangled histories of capitalism, class and racism across time and space. Accompanying this is a body of work analysing counter-hegemonic social movements and their efforts to challenge structural inequalities and deepen processes of democratisation and social justice. A historical social scientist employing both longue durée and conjunctural modes of analysis, I am the author of seven books including Britain in fragments: Why things are falling apart (written jointly with Brendan McGeever) (Manchester University Press, 2023) and Racism, class and the racialized outsider (Palgrave 2014). 

My work has appeared in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German. I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) in 2023 and have also been a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences (FAcSS) since 2018. I am currently working on a book entitled Catastrophe and Utopia to be published by the University of California Press.
