My main research interests are in corporate harm, corporate power, and business regulation, particularly in field of the commercial determinants of health. My current projects centre on the stabilisation of corporate scientific knowledge, the deterrent effects of enforcement action against large businesses, and the political economy of business elites. This last package of work explores how ownership, nationality, residence and gender shape business elite recruitment, corporate authority and control, what the emergence of “absentee elites” may mean for corporate accountability, and what we term elite welfare.

I welcome applications from PhD students in any of my research interests.
