Research Overview
My research focuses on the complex dynamics of expatriation, repatriation, and career behaviours within international work environments. I critically engage with established models, such as Black et al.'s international adjustment theory, and propose alternative perspectives on adjustment processes and career negotiations. Through a combination of systematic reviews, empirical studies, and conceptual analyses, I explore themes like identity management, cross-cultural interactions, and organizational resistance. My work has been featured in journals like The International Journal of Human Resource Management and Work, Employment and Society and presented at leading conferences (e.g., Academy of Management, CarCon, Biritish Academy of Management, EGOS), contributing to a deeper understanding of expatriate experiences and advancing knowledge in organizational behavior and (international) human resource management.

My current research interest include:

1. International careers, mobility, and adjustment: examining expatriation, repatriation, identity reconstruction, and how individuals navigate work and life across borders over time.
2. Experiential learning, disruption, and career change: exploring how people learn, adapt, and make career decisions in contexts of uncertainty, disruption, and constrained agency.
3. Technology, inequality, and participation in international contexts: investigating how digital infrastructures shape mobility, privilege, exclusion, and everyday participation.
4. Equality, diversity, and inclusion in non-Western contexts: examining how EDI is experienced, enacted, and contested in the Global South and other contexts not well explained by Global North assumptions.
5. Gender, sport, and marketisation: studying the changing commercial and career dynamics of women’s sport, especially women’s football.
