Katy Fox-Hodess

“Dr Fox-Hodess is an incredible supervisor. She takes utmost interest in my work and gives a detailed feedback on each of my submissions. She also constantly sends me supportive things to do or readings, whenever I am depressed or frustrated. I believe I could not have asked for a better person as my supervisor. I really look up to her. She is a great supervisor who understands and supports me in every possible way.” — Student comment for ‘Supervisionary All-Rounder’ Recognition, 2020

I am deeply invested in good teaching and mentorship, seeking to push students to think about labor in a global context and to equip them with strong critical thinking and writing skills. As a teacher, I strive to incorporate my research into coursework and to encourage students to draw from their own experiences as workers and consumers to better understand their world.

In my current position at the University of Sheffield, I am the module leader for MGT 309 and MGT 659, the undergraduate and post-graduate modules in Industrial Relations. In addition to supervising Masters and PhD students, I contribute to an undergraduate module in Work and Employment in the Twenty-First Century.

In my first and second years of doctoral supervision, I was recognised by the university as a ‘Supervisionary All-Rounder”, “recognising good all round supervision, that has really made a difference to doctoral students”, on the basis of student feedback.
