Her current project explores how workers and unions use different strategies and tactics to improve working conditions and build organisation in hospitality across Britain and the Spanish State. She holds a PhD in Sociology from Queen’s University Belfast, with a dissertation that analysed riots as a form of collective action during the ‘troubles’ in Northern Ireland (1969–1998). Her work is published in The Sociological Review, Partecipazione e Conflitto, and Civil Wars.
