Darren T. Baker is a researcher interested in applying psychosocial principles to the study of gender relations, class, and leadership. He draws on psychoanalytical theory for epistemological, methodological, and ontological inspiration.

Darren holds an MA from the University of Oxford, where he conducted research on masculinities, and studied for his PhD at the School of Business and Management, Kings College London, where his research was funded by the ESRC and ACCA. Darren has taught at Queen Mary University and Kings College London, and is currently a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University, School Management.

Her most recent research in this area focuses on how the use of contingent workers affects firm performance and employee retention in organizations. Her work has been published in several international outlets. She received a PhD in Management from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
