Who am I?
I have been lecturing in higher education in England for over 30 years in 3 universities. I have set up a number of Access courses in Further education Colleges in North London, and in one prison.
My research interests are in recent changes in services sector firms, especially banks and building societies. Earlier research was on the introduction of 'Japanese' methods into British factories.
I am currently interested in developing educational packages, on line, for adults. The focus will be on working lives, and how they relate to other areas of life; the family, politics etc.. To contact me with suggestions, and reactions to the site, do click on the link below to send me an email.
