Hugh left school with GCSEs in mathematics and English language, believing he had all the education he needed to live a fulfilling life. After holding positions as varied as foreman in a landscape gardening business, supervisor in a contract cleaning company and communications manager with Siemens plc, but finding none of them sufficiently rewarding, he returned to education 1993 and has since gained a BA (Honours) in philosophy, politics and economics from Keele, an MA in health service studies and a PhD from the University of Leeds.

Along the way he has regained a passion for intellectual debate and focuses his research and writing in the area of identity and the social construction of norms and models within and through our society/ies.

Teaching:

Hugh has taught undergraduates and postgraduates at Leeds, Manchester, York and latterly Bradford universities on subjects including management and leadership, organisational behaviour, business and society, the sociology of work, introductory and advanced qualitative research methods and ethical issues in business, management and health and social care.

Administration:

Hugh left his post as programme director for the management and leadership programme at the Leeds Institute of Health Sciences in the medical faculty at the University of Leeds to join Bradford School of Management in May 2008.

Research interests:

As a theoretician with a particular interest in Queer theory, Hugh has researched and written on the social construction of: the alcoholic, for an MA dissertation; the hegemonic, homogeneous manager, in academic journals such as Public Administration and; the ontological and epistemological "foundation" of the self, in his doctoral thesis.

Research projects:

Hugh is currently working on papers to take forward previous work on epistemological violence, the meaning of work and difference, diversity, equality and fairness in the workplace. He hopes one day to write something significant from an ethical perspective about difference, similarity, diversity discrimination, toleration and understanding and how these are linked and how they use and are used in discourse and language to good and ill effect.
