I would be happy to work with students whose projects relate to my research interests, including work on theories of practice, time, space, rhythm, materiality, embodiment, habit, consumption, demand, mobility, energy, travel, and public health, smoking, obesity, and exercise.

Current roles include:

• Deputy Head - Sociology, Lancaster;
• Co-Director - Centre for Practice Theory at Lancaster;
• Editor - Journal of Practice Theory;
• Convenor - SOCL101: The Sociological Imagination.

My main research interests are in the sociology of practice and the philosophy of process, including work on time and social organisation.

I’ve developed these ideas in substantive areas related to the sociology of consumption including work on energy demand and public health.

I’m currently writing a book ‘Practice Theory and Process Philosophy: Towards a Sociology of Becoming‘, that consolidates the theoretcial insights from this work.
