He enjoys teaching students and has taught courses in humans services, management, governmental policy, politics, health and communications.
His research is strongly aligned with the humanistic social sciences; working with the sensibilities found in the field of cultural analysis. He is completed his doctoral studies where he investigated compassion afforded to animals in businesses and other organizational contexts, which is located within a wider analysis of human attitudes towards animals from the 18th century to the present-day. He has won a scholarships, awards and research grants to carry out his doctoral research in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
He is an interdisciplinary scholar, which has alllowed him to published and presented research in the areas of translational research, health (viz. stroke), organizational studies, management, culture and animal studies. However, a common thread across most of these research projects is a commitment to humanistic social science methodologies and modes of anlaysis.
