Research

Her research interests currently centre upon understanding how students make sense of the academic requirements of university study.

Rebecca is a creative and enthusiastic educator, who has a passion for enhancing the student experience and facilitating the development of students’ understanding of the future world of work.

Research projects

Teaching

Rebecca delivers Strategic Human Resource Management content which helps students develop their understanding of the strategic approaches organisations can take concerning the management of people and the potential impact of different HR policies and practices.

She also delivers Employee Relations & Employment Law that examines the mechanics of the employment relationship by exploring employee well-being, performance and reward, and the management of both employee relations and employment law in practice.

She particularly enjoys encouraging students to consider emergent, topical themes and how they influence HR leaders’ decisions through the application of theory to practice.
