Senior Researcher
BA (York); PHD (Essex).
Following her doctorate at the University of Essex (in Social History), Sian worked in a number of research posts in local government, supporting economic development, urban policy and education and training programmes. She was active in, what was then, the local government trade union, NALGO. She then went on to work for the Labour Research Department, the independent, trade union-based research organisation, where she undertook a number of commissioned research projects for trade unions.
Between 2000 and 2003 Sian worked as a Research Officer on the Leverhulme Foundation Future of Trade Unionism Programme, based in the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics. She taught on the LSE’s MSc in Employment Relations.
Sian’s current research interest is trade union recognition; her work under the Leverhulme Future of Unions Programme focused on the impact of the statutory recognition legislation introduced in 2000. Her doctoral work involved a study of working class women’s response to the restructuring of the labour market and sexual division of labour in Bradford, West Yorkshire 1780-1845. She is interested in a number of related fields including working class women’s consciousness and organisation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as well as contemporary workplace organisation and mobilisation.
