Profile

Josh is an ESRC funded doctoral researcher in the field of international political economy. His research focusses on the role of the capitalist state within the structures of global production networks, exploring how state-based authority shapes, and is itself shaped by, the power relations and social forces that constitute these networks. He takes a qualitative approach to investigating these structures and the political struggles that shape them.

Josh is a co-convenor of the SPERI Doctoral Research Network, which seeks to bring together post-graduate researchers across disciplines through events and other collaborative activities.
