About

I am continually engaged in research and publishing with the hope of contributing to the development of radical research methodologies that increase the chances of social justice and what Laclau, Mouffe and others refer to as radical democracy.  I have over the years been involved in around 70 funded projects in areas as diverse as schooling, health, policing, health promotion, information technology, communities and business.  The projects have included ethnnographies, case studies,multi-site case studies, evaluations and action research.  They have ranged from small scale to national and international in scope.  I am always on the lookout for new partnerships and opportunities to engage in research and publication. 

Funders have included:  Economic and Social Research Council; European Union; English National Board for Nursing and Midwifery and Health Visiting; AERC.  For more detailed information see my cv.

People may be interested in the talks given at the 'In defense of youth work' conference that I participated in.  At this address are videos of the talks plus papers: http://www.indefenceofyouthwork.org.uk/wordpress/?page_id=760
