Profile
Biography
Philip joined the School for Business and Society as a Research Associate in May 2023, working on projects related to food systems, hybrid business models and food insecurity. These include the Fix Our Food project, as well as NIHR-funded research exploring community food organisations in Bradford and Tower Hamlets (London).
Philip holds a PhD in International Development from SOAS, University of London, which explored power relations and institutional dynamics in building farmer producer organisations (hybrid co-operative companies) in central India, including the supply chains in which they were operating. His research drew on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork to examine everyday practices of co-operation, institution building and value chain integration, as well as their representation by a diverse array of actors.
Prior to his PhD, Philip worked in professional research, advocacy and project roles for national membership-based organisations, including the Trades Union Congress, voluntary sector umbrella body NCVO, and the National Union of Students. In a freelance capacity, he has carried out research for stakeholders including the NHS.
