Profile
Chris studied for his PhD in the department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick, where he was supervised by Professor Peter Burnham and Professor Wyn Grant. He then returned to Warwick for an ESRC post-doctoral fellowship before moving to the Department of Politics at the University of York, first as a Teaching Fellow in International Political Economy, and then as a Leverhulme Trust funded Early Career Fellow. Chris returned to PaIS as Assistant Professor of Political Economy and Public Policy in September 2014.
Research interests
Chris’ research interests focus on the politics of economic policy-making, Marxist political economy and Marxist state theory, and the co-operative movement. His doctoral thesis examined the politics of economic policy-making in Britain during the 1970s, and examined the extent to which external institutions were used to depoliticise the negative consequences of its economic policies. More recently, Chris has been considering the transformative potential of established and emerging forms of mutual and cooperative organisation, and the various ways in which they have been subjected to the discipline of the capitalist market economy.
