Julie’s research is deeply influenced by her experiences and interest in the intricate dynamics of public services delivery and management. She has an avid interest in how individual's behaviours, interactions and values impact this space. A notable area of her research centres on the interplay between social dynamics and management controls and organizational reforms.

My teaching philosophy is continually evolving and always fosters a student-centred environment that not only nurtures curiosity and independent thinking but also supports the development of lifelong learners. An ‘active learning,’ philosophy guides the design and execution of all my learning activities. Through the integration of applied learning strategies, such as case studies, simulations, and interactive class questions, I aim to incite an interest within my students towards the subject matter I teach. In every module I deliver, embedding transversal skills is a priority, preparing students not just academically but also for the challenges of the modern workforce. My approach aims to make learning an engaging and enjoyable experience while developing maieutic minds.
