Dr Ana Lopes

I am a Senior Lecturer in Work and Employment at Newcastle University. Previously, I held academic positions at the University of the West of England and University of East London. I studied Social Anthropology and gained my PhD in Sociology with the thesis ‘Organising in the sex industry: an action research investigation’.   
I am passionate about equality and diversity. My research focuses on the areas of gender, work and employment relations. I have also written and published work on the casualisation of academic work, living wage campaigns and community organising.   
I am an Editorial Board member of the  journal Work, Employment and Society and book reviews editor of the journal Gender, Work and Organization.
