Bio: Robin is currently Senior Lecturer at Cardiff Business School. He completed his PhD at the University of Warwick, where he also gained an MSc in Organization Studies. His thesis examined the practiced realities of (medical) work, and was partly completed during a visiting fellowship in the Department of Sociology at the University of California (Los Angeles).
Since joining Cardiff University, Robin has taught organization studies extensively on a range of different academic programmes. He has also researched and published widely on the lived realities of extreme forms of work, developing specific expertise in relation to the connection between emotions and organizational behaviour.
Notable examples of Robin’s research include analysis of the role of fear in sustaining extreme institutional regimes; how identities are constructed through suffering; and how socio-spatial relations can facilitate the proliferation and entrenchment of non-reality based beliefs in organizations (e.g. the belief in being ‘free from’ moral and legal constraint).
Outside of the University, Robin consults widely for a range of large, high profile public, private and charitable organizations in the UK and abroad.
