Research Interests and Supervision
My main interests are in cross-disciplinary work on risk, comparative cross-national work on European social policy and work on theoretical developments in social policy. I believe that careful, theoretically-founded qualitative and quantitative empirical research is essential to make progress in all three areas.

I welcome research students in the area of risk, with a special interest in social policy applications, and in European social policy.

Teaching

My teaching is mainly supervision of research students. The thesis titles of recent successful students give an idea of the range of areas of interest:

Social Security, Social Control and the Tribunal Process

The Ideology of Entitlement - Public Opinion, Social Division and Social Security

Women in the Labour Market and the Family: Policies in Greece and Germany

The Politics of Pension and Health Care Reform in Korea, 1975-2002
