Research interests Andrew's research focuses on the contemporary experiences of work, in particular, low-paid precarious work, the complexities and challenges of work-life 'balance', working time and the temporalities of work, and public sector employment change. 'The Forgotten Workers' project, with Professor Jo McBride (Durham University), is the first UK study to examine low-paid multiple employment in the UK. The research critically explores the economic and temporal dimensions of precarious work, zero hours contracts and in-work poverty. This research has been impactful and influenced organisational and trade union policies to protect precarious workers. Andrew has researched workers’ experiences of the largest Public-Private Partnership in the civil service. He has also worked with a team of academics critically examining the application of ‘lean’ working methods in the public sector. His research also explores the practicalities and challenges of articulating work-life ‘balance’. Andrew is interested in the transforming temporalities of work and the implications on domestic life and familial care responsibilities
