My research focus is on gender, work (including paid and unpaid work) and organisations. This includes funded projects on women and leadership; women on corporate boards; and women’s under-representation at the upper echelons of Higher Education Institutions, as well as the gap between Flexible Working Arrangements policy and practice and its unintended outcomes. Between 2015 and 2020, I was part of  UK team for the SAAGE (Scientific Analysis and Advice on Gender Equality) expert group to the EC, reporting on the UK gender equality picture, contributing to and leading reports around the Gender Pay Gap; Occupational Segregation; and Childcare and family and employment policies.  Most recently, my research focus has been on care and care work, including reports for the United Nations, Scottish Government and collaboration with Oxfam UK; and research on older people and grandparents’ active role in the jigsaw of care provision,  as part of WiSE’s Global Challenges Network of Gender Researchers in Scotland and South Africa (co-led by Nina).
