Laura has successfully completed her PhD in Management Studies at The Open University (2021). Since Laura has been successful in securing a prestigious transition 1 Early Career grant awarded by The British Academy of Management (2023-2024) where she is leading a qualitative project which explores the impact agile working arrangements have on managerial belonging. She is also active in pursuing further funding to continue to develop her interest around post-menopausal careers.

Laura continues her interest in researching precarious events with her PhD concentrating on impacts of Brexit within the UK on migrant work. She has also developed a keen interest in understanding how organisations can practice effective inclusivity for marginalised and/or under-represented groups through exploring lived experienced of different groups of workers and considering alternative leadership approaches. Her areas of research include leadership and management studies, well-being, women’s health and careers, and the impact of identity and belonging, issues of dialectics and wicked problems at work.
