Other Project

The entrepreneurs who made Glasgow: the city and its businesses 1861-1901"
The Leverhulme Trust

Co-investigator on the Leverhulme Trust grant RPG-2020-382 Entrepreneurs are considered the engine of growth within an economy. But despite the literature that asserts that historic growth in cities was entrepreneurship-led, we lack sufficient research in city specific contexts and mechanisms. We view the history of business i.e. what businesses existed, their location, and who ran them, as an essential contribution to the debate about the historical transformation of economies. Focusing on Glasgow, we will take factors that are key to understanding economic development today and apply them to Glasgow's historical data to build a more holistic understanding of how migration, gender, age, and infrastructure shaped entrepreneurial activity.

Research

My research explores the many ways in which women develop, defend, and express managerial competence. My interest in women’s managerial competence has produced several historical studies of women’s management in early philanthropic organisations, inter-war professional groups, and the foundation of women only financial organisations and institutions that allow women to independently manage their finances. I have also investigated the development and defence of competence by looking at gender and diversity training and gender in the management education curriculum. This is in addition to my work on how feminism and management education interact pedagogically within Critical Management Education approaches.? My current research projects focus on the impact of identity politics on teaching diversity to management students, and the number and distribution of women's businesses in 19th century Glasgow.
