Biography
Adrian Monaghan joined Salford Business School in 2010 and is a Senior Lecturer and the Programme Leader for MSc International Business. He was awarded a BA Honours in French, followed by an MSc in Business Studies.

He then returned to university to do a PhD in socio-technical transitions for sustainability, during which he also enjoyed translating French academic works for publication in English. While completing his PhD Adrian worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester and subsequently became a lecturer at Brunel University where he was also Manager of the Economic and Social Research Council’s Sustainable Technologies Programme.
