Professor Matt Flynn

Matt Flynn is a professor at the University of Hull and Director the Centre for Research into the Older Workforce. He has carried out research for both the UK and Hong Kong governments on the impact of ageing demographics on the world of work. He has produced good practice guides for employers on making work attractive to older workers; constructing phased retirement pathways; and making the best use of skills and talents in intergenerational work teams. He is currently working with partners in Spain, Italy and Poland on a European Commission funded project developing industry-specific approaches to workplace active ageing. He is also working with British employers and armed services in supporting older veterans into high quality civilian work. Finally, he edited a book which explored how employers and governments in Asia and Europe are addressing the challenges of ageing workplaces.

Matthew Jones 

Matty is a fourth year PhD student whose research covers emergencies and the legal-political theory of Carl Schmitt (1888-1985). In particular, he is concerned with 'extra-ordinary' emergencies, such as COVID-19 and climate change, and Schmitt's concepts of the 'exception' and 'sovereign dictatorship'. His thesis modifies Schmitt's concepts in an attempt to enhance the resilience of contemporary liberal-democratic states.
