Profile

My teaching and research uses the concepts and methods of sociology, anthropology and geography to examine the different dimensions of hospitality in contemporary society. I am particularly interested in the relationship between social and commercial forms of hospitality, but my research interests include hospitality and urbanity, sexual dissidence and queer culture, research ethics and covert research, tourism, entrepreneurship and organisational culture, crime and violence in the hospitality industry and consumer participation in commercial hospitality. My colleagues and I recently instigated a new research project that examines the adaptation experiences of migrant workers employed in the hospitality sector, which has been supported by two PhD bursaries from the University.

I am keen to build bridges between researchers working in different disciplines and institutions. My work promotes dialogue among social scientists and management academics and I have been involved in the organisation of a number of seminar series and symposia that nurture collaboration. Most recently I coordinated and chaired a panel at the Association of Social Anthropologists’ Annual Conference on hospitality, culture and society.
