Professor Jamie Morgan researches contemporary problems and their socio-economic context at Leeds Beckett University. Most recently he has focused on political transition (Brexit, Trump), corporate tax avoidance, climate change, financialisation, artificial intelligence and social change, and modern forms of slavery.
He also has a longstanding interest in the philosophy, methodology and pedagogy of economics. Jamie co-edits Real World Economics Review with Edward Fullbrook, and is the former coordinator of the Association for Heterodox Economists. The AHE shares with the WEA and the Institute for New Economic.
Over the last decade, Jamie has published widely in the fields of economics, political economy, philosophy, sociology and international politics.
