"She has a long standing research interest in changes in gendered employment and their interconnection to wider systems of economy and society. Her research involves constant movement between the theorisation of gender and (in)equality, its measurement and the study of its policy impact. Her current work focuses on gender violence and security, gendered political economy and the current economic and financial crisis, policies towards equalities, the sociology of the EU, and complexity theory."
