Lauren's research interests centre on responsible business and sustainability. Specifically, she researches gender and inequalities, often within production in global value chains. To what extent is gender inequality exacerbated, or eased, through CSR, or social enterprise? Methodologically, Lauren's research promotes participatory, often visual, methods. She is also interested in contemporary feminism, particularly online feminist activism and social change facilitated through digital spaces.
Lauren currently coordinates Responsible Business in Context (MN3915) and Ethics and Social Entrepreneurship (MN5571), and co-coordinates Foundations in Responsible Business (MN1125). She also contributes to teaching PhD qualitative methodologies. Lauren is keen to hear from potential PhD applicants interested in topics on CSR and value chains, particularly with a focus on gender relations.
