About
I am an researcher, campaigner and consultant.
My background is in academic study, but I am currently taking time away from Higher Education to focus on the practical application of my knowledge and skills.
My primary interest is in how workers come to take collective action in workplaces with no established trade union presence. My empirical focus has largely been on workers in the platform economy, where wildcat strike action is commonplace. Understanding struggle amongst this workforce has wider implications for understanding trade union decline and resurgence, agency and the labour process, and ongoing changes in the nature of work.
My other research interests include political economy, class analysis and social movement studies.
I have experience as a Teaching Assistant in Sociology modules on class analysis and work and employment; a Guest Lecturer on work and employment; an MA dissertation supervisor in Human Resource Management; a Research Assistant; and a paid Conference Organiser.
Amdanaf i
Rydw i’n ymchwilydd academaidd gyda diddordeb mewn gwrthdaro yn y gweithle.
Mae fy ngwaith ymchwil yn ymwneud â’r prosesau sydd yn ffurfio actorion cydweithredol yn amodau arunig. Mae gen i ddiddordeb penodol mewn enghreifftiau o weithwyr yn gwrthwynebu gwaith bregus, megis yn y “platfform economi”.
Trwy astudio hyn, rydw i’n bwriadu ymyrryd yn nadleuon dros awtonomi yn y gwaith, twf gwaith is-safonol, a dyfodol y mudiad llafur.
Mae fy niddordebau academaidd eraill yn cynnwys astudio mudiadau cymdeithasol, astudio dosbarthiadau cymdeithasol, a gweledigaethau gwrth-cyfalafol.
Rydw i’n dod o Aberfan yn wreiddiol ac, tu hwnt i academia, mae gen i ddiddordeb yn nyfodol yr iaith ac yn y mudiad dros annibyniaeth.
