I am Professor of Business Anthropology at Royal Holloway, University of London, known for immersive studies of German banks, British retail chains, BMW MINI, and Taiwanese self-initiated expatriate networks.

I am a BSFA Award winner and and World Fantasy Award finalist who writes guidebooks to SF television series, plays, audio dramas, novels and stories. I am represented by the John Jarrold literary agency.

In all forms, I write about gender and ethnic identity, globalisation and nationalism, networking, and how people deal with the changing working world.

 

In 2022, I wrote a book called  "Management Lessons from Game of Thrones: Organization Theory And Strategy In Westeros". It's the BSFA and World Fantasy Award shortlisted managment textbook you didn't know you wanted! Click the link to read a sample chapter, or to buy it for as little as £20 or $25! For bonus content, you can see a video of my mini-lecture "Leadership Lessons from Game of Thrones" on my Youtube channel, or read my series on Leadership in Game of Thrones on my blog A Doctor of Many Things, or take a fun quiz to find out which Game of Thrones leader you are. I would be happy to come and teach the Game of Thrones leadership method to your organisation: Email me if you're interested.

 

This site is a general summary of what I've written, said, been interviewed about, and produced over the years, with details of how to get in touch. My latest news, along with essays, stories, reviews and recipes, and the BSFA Award-winning article series "Project Management Lessons from Rogue One", can be found on my blog, A Doctor of Many Things.
