C. Research Related Activities
Research interests: Equality and diversity in employment; cultural diversity;
international human resource management
My research focuses on equality, diversity and inclusion at work from comparative,
relational and interdisciplinary perspectives. Exploring aspects of equality, diversity
and inclusion at work, I pursue a mainly curiosity driven, yet theoretically rigorous,
empirically grounded and policy relevant, research agenda. My research seeks to
answer important questions and address significant problems that face workplaces.

E. Administrative Duties
2016-2017 Early Career Researcher Representative for the
Hertfordshire Business School and Member of the
University of Hertfordshire Researcher Development
Working Group
2014-2017 Program Director (Director of Studies) for the dual
award MSc Global Business (International Business School
Alliance)
The IBSA Dual Degree Master's Program is a distinct initiative that uses a three-
pronged approach: 2 countries + 2 degrees + 1 year = a prepared IBSA graduate with
dual master’s degrees. This one-year, full-time, tuition-based dual master’s degree
plan has three main elements. The first semester begins with a core set of identical
class modules that are taught at all 6 universities in a host of global settings. The
second semester follows in a different partner university of the students’ choice, based
on their preference for specialization area.
In this role, I provide a link between students, administrators, and the Examinations
boards. I am responsible for the dual award MSc Global Business program of study,
reporting to the Associate Dean (Programmes), whilst being ultimately responsible to
the Head of Department for all duties including the administration of the Program.
The role includes the following responsibilities:
• Write/audit Annual Monitoring and Evaluation reports
• Liaise with International and UK Admissions
• Develop strategy of the program
• Periodic review
• Attend the annual IBSA program tutors meeting held annually at one of the
partners
• Liaise with Partner institutions and ensuring consistency of delivery and
assessment of the program
• Ensure compliance with AQO requirements for such collaborative program
• Develop the marketing strategy of the program
• Arrange for the support of students and, where appropriate, counselling
students individually, particularly with regard to academic progress, whether
they are in the UK or abroad
