Dr Amy Ludlow was interviewed recently for the Public Procurement Podcast (PPP) to discuss her new book Privatising Public Prisons: Labour Law and the Public Procurement Process.
In the interview, Dr Ludlow discusses her experiences of research into public procurement at Birmingham Prison, and the empirical and cross-disciplinary approach that was required.
You can listen to the podcast below, and a transcript is available on the PPP site.
The PPP is a new and different way of disseminating knowledge related with public procurement. The PPP aims to provide a platform for Early Career Academics to talk about key topics of their research in a way and tone approachable to lay people. This project will run until March 2016 with a total of 20 episodes posted every other week.
The PPP is part of a wider project sponsored by the British Academy Rising Star Engagement Awards which will include an Early Career Academic Day during the next Procurement Week conference to be held in March 2016.
