  Current Projects  

·         Eliciting qualitative data from entrepreneurs', about how a fear of failure impacts entrepreneurial activities.

·          Currently supervising MA students' and examining modules in Newcastle University's Business Schools, primarily in Entrepreneurship. 

 

The aim of my current post is to gather data/information from entrepreneurs', about how entrepreneurs' experience a ‘fear of failure’ in relation to their activities. The research will culminate in the publication of an article on the topic.

·         “Learning Not To Labour: An ethnographic insight into the lives and minds of 5 ‘Chav’ unemployed men”.

·         “Working Class Lads Living Middleclass Lives. How Is Upward Social Mobility Experienced, Negotiated and Conceptualised By Young Men In A Changing Society?”

·         “Too Many Foreigners And Not Enough Work: How ‘Traditional’, White, Working Class Men Living in Post-Industrial Ashington View Their Societal Existences”

 Planned, future publications:  

·         “Different physiological masses for different masculine classes: how men visually denote their masculinities through and upon their modified bodies”

·         "The Disguise of Depression, as revealed in public and privately acquired sociological data"

·         "The F Word: Fear Of Failure and the Entrepreneurial Process" (to be co-published with Professor James Hayton)
