Area of expertise

 Jon's earliest areas of expertise were in the fields of health and illness, with particular regard to the role played by 'race' and ethnicity in these domains. Jon's PhD was in the area of 'race' and sexuality. Subsequently, Jon's expertise broadened to engage more inclusively in the role played by social diversity in the contemporary nation state, and with a particular interest in migration. The role played by intra-EU highly skilled migration became the focus of an Economic and Social Research Council grant (with Professor Louise Ryan), 'French Capital: A Study of French Highly-Skilled Migrants in London's Financial and Business Sectors'. Subsequently Jon secured a grant (with Dr. Erin Sanders-McDonagh and Dr. Nicola Montagna) from the British Academy, exploring the role played by women in nationalist movements in the UK. Jon has recently advanced a focus on sustainability. In addition to developing modules in the Sociology of Sustainability and Green Criminology, Jon has undertaken funded research climate education and craft/artisanship.
