Introduction

Examples of research I've published include insights into:

1. Performing entrepreneurial masculinity

In 2017, on the basis of ethnographic data and in relation to Goffman’s theory of dramaturgy, I published a paper investigating how entrepreneurial masculinity is performed, as a social-construct, in a semi-rural context. This paper was published in the International Small Business Journal (ABS:3*). This paper featured on BBC’s Thinking Allowed Program, in Forbes Magazine and in other media outlets.

2. Hegemonic masculinity

In 2020 and 2021 I published papers investigating hegemonic masculinity, in Gender, Work and Organisations (ABS: 3*). One paper uses ethnographic data to consider how hegemonic masculinity and emotional labour intersect in organisational spaces. The other paper, utilising Bourdieu, is a longitudinal study, outlining how a hegemonic corporate masculinity has been learned by IT professionals as a consequence of their immersion in the offices of an elite firm. 

3. Embodiment, Masculinity and belonging

In 2022 I published an article in Organization (ABS: 3*) looking at the way male organisational actors use their bodies to alleviate identity threats and (re)affirm belonging. 

4. Enterprise and entrepreneurship

In 2016, I was part of the team who re-conceptualised how fear of failure relates to entrepreneurship, published in Journal of Business Venturing (ABS: 4*, winning JBV's paper of the year). In 2019, with a colleague, I wrote about enterprise in the gig-economy, from a youth studies perspective (Journal of Sociology). This paper featured in several media outlets, including The Conversation.

5. Ethnography as a research method

In 2018, I published two papers discussing ethnography. One paper explores ‘insider ethnography’. The other outlines my experiences of ethnographically researching white working class men in a post-industrial space, which I did during my PhD's fieldwork. Both of these papers were published in the Qualitative Report.

6. Masculinities in post-industrialism

Building on data I captured during my PhD's fieldwork, I have written about the relationship between contemporary working class masculinity, post-industrialism and consensual unemployment (in International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy, 2014); and outlined how men raised in working class homes experience upward mobility through white-collar employment in post-industrial contexts (in Sociological Research Online, 2014).
