I am Reader in Sociology & Political Economy in the Institute for International Management and Entrepreneurship at Loughborough University London. 

Here is my CV.

I am also a Research Affiliate at the Ithaca Co-Lab, School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University. 

Before Loughborough, I spent 10 years in the School of Management & Business, King's College London (Lecturer to Reader). I have had fellowships at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, Berlin, and the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, and have been a visiting researcher at iaelyon School of Management, Jean Moulin University Lyon 3, Lyon, France, the Department of Management, Paris Dauphine University, Paris, and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne. My PhD is in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

My work has been mainly within one of two overlapping research streams. The first is on work organisation, labour management, labour markets, and employment relations. The second is on the political economy of capitalism, focusing on growth, distribution, stagnation and crisis. 

My current major project is a comparative-relational analysis of growth and distribution in the USA, UK, Germany, Brazil, and Chile, from 1900 to the present. This is with Diego Polanco, Alfredo Saad-Filho, and Adalmir Marquetti. We are examining the relation between profitability, wages, investment, and institutions (employment, trade, finance, the state, and inter-state relations). We are constructing datasets for analysis of profits, wages, and investment at the macro, sectoral, and firm level, going back as far as data are available. For other research projects, see here.

I play a sport called bike polo (it's like horse polo but on bicycles!) and I go see a lot of live music.
