After nearly 20 years researching and teaching in UK Business Schools I left academic life in 2011 for voluntary community development work. I was lured back into academe in 2014 by the prospect of taking over the reins running the excellent Masters Programme in Social Entrepreneurship. Goldsmiths is globally famous for its creativity and innovativeness and I am pleased to see this reflected within the programme.

Research interests

I am an accomplished academic researcher with a rigorous cross-disciplinary approach. This is based firstly on practical experience with Third Sector organisations complemented by expertise in organisational development. This draws upon my expertise in Innovation Studies which provides analytical tools drawing on economics, history, political economy, social theory and sociology. Since 2007 my research has focussed on practical engagement, especially with social enterprises. I also explore the broader fields of sustainable development, the third sector, the social and solidarity economy, and the wide range of emergent alternative ways of organising and coordinating economic activity, in other words alternatives to shareholder-focused forms of capitalism. You can listen to a recent interview with Enrique Rubio which is now hosted on the World Bank’s web site.

I previously worked at Newcastle University Business School, Manchester Business School, Brunel University and the University of Manchester Institute of Science & Technology and I have over 50 publications including a paper reprinted in two different international reference collections. I was the Founding Series Editor of Dialogues in Critical Management Studies and co-editor of the collections The Third Sector (Emerald, 2011), Managing Knowledge: Critical Investigations of Work and Learning (Macmillan, 2000), and Knowledge and Innovation in the New Service Economy (Edward Elgar, 2000).
