Dr Phillippa (Pip) Kyle is a Visiting Researcher in the Leadership, Work and Organisation Subject Group at Newcastle University Business School, UK. She was previously a Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor) in Management in the subject group.
Pip's research explores identity/work, harm, leadership, self and critical reflexivity. For example, her current research is focused on safeguarding dancer welfare and translating this research to public policy. This work has been developed through projects examining the Prevalence of Maltreatment of UK-based Dance Professionals, the role of HR professionals and senior leaders in advancing safeguarding and abuse prevention in dance in the UK and coproducing pro- equity policies with dance professionals. These projects have been funded by UK Research Innovation (UKRI), Research England, QR Policy Support Fund and university impact funding. This work has been funded as a result of Pip’s PhD which illustrated a widespread presence of maltreatment in dance in the UK.
