Profile

Biography

Philip Hancock is a Professor of Work and Organisation at Essex Business School, University of Essex, UK. His research interests include the work of critical schools of organisation theory, organisational aesthetics, the spatial and architectural management of work, emotional and aesthetic labour, the historical and contemporary organisation of Christmas, and the intersubjective importance of recognition within the workplace. Philip began working in the NHS before taking a CNAA degree in Social Sciences at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham (UK). After completing an MA in Philosophy and Social Theory at the University of Warwick (UK), he studied part-time for a PhD at Keele University (UK), completing his thesis entitled 'Aesthetics and Organization: A Critical Engagement' in 2004. He held academic positions at University College Scarborough (UK) and Glasgow Caledonian University (UK), where he taught sociology and philosophy, and then the University of Warwick (UK), where he rose to Reader in Organisational Behaviour. He joined the University of Essex as a full professor in 2011. In addition, he has held a visiting professorship at the University of Lapland (Finland) and has been a Visiting Fellow at the University of Sydney (Australia). He has published widely on his research in academic peer-reviewed journals, including the Academy of Management Review, Journal of Management Studies, Work, Employment and Society, Organization, Organization Studies, Human Relations, Culture and Organization, Critical Sociology, Sociological Review, and the Journal of Organizational Change Management amongst others. He is the author of 'Organizing Christmas' (Routledge), co-author of 'Work, Organization and Postmodernism: A Critical Introduction' (Sage), and a co-editor of 'The Body, Culture and Society' (Open University), 'The Management of Everyday Life' (Palgrave), and 'Understanding Corporate Life' (Sage), as well as having contributed chapters to numerous edited books. Philip has been a guest editor for several journals, a stream convenor at conferences such as CMS and GWO and is, or has been, a member of the editorial and review boards of several international journals, including the Academy of Management Review, Work, Employment and Society, Organization, Organization Studies and Human Relations. His work on the organisation of Christmas has been reported on by the Sunday Times, The Guardian, the BBC, ABC and a host of international news agencies and outlets. He has also regularly contributed to publications such as The Conversation on issues related to his research interests. Philip is always happy to receive enquiries from potential PhD students considering research in one of his areas of interest and expertise. My office hours for students during the 2024 Summer term are TBC. Outside of these hours, please email me, and we can arrange a meeting either by Zoom or in person.
