Dr Helen Eccleston is a Senior Lecturer in Business and Management and is the Programme Leader for BSc Business and Management. Previously, she held academic posts at the University of Central Lancashire as an Associate Lecturer in Strategic Management and as a PhD Candidate in Management (Entrepreneurship and Strategy).
Helen's research adopts both a processual and social practice lens to explore the day-to-day entrepreneurial activities in small family business. She has presented her work at numerous international conferences, addressing topics such as strategising, practical coping, and the emotional dimensions and lived experiences of entrepreneurship. Her most recent work published in Human Relations examines the political potential of affect and how it matters for entrepreneuring as organisation creation.
Helen is an accomplished educator who brings a wealth of expertise and passion to her teaching practice. She assumes a leadership role across multiple modules: BUS3024 Strategic Management, BUS2019 Employability, and BUS3037 Organisational Misbehavior.

By embedding employability within her teaching, Helen empowers students to embrace their career aspirations and take ownership of their professional growth.
Helen's teaching extends beyond the confines of the classroom, as she actively engages in ongoing professional development to remain at the forefront of educational practices, recently presenting at the Advance HE Employability Symposium 2022 and at Praxis Auril Conference 2023 where she discussed student knowledge exchange through internship partnerships with SMEs. By staying abreast of emerging trends and pedagogical approaches, she continuously enhances her teaching methodologies, ensuring that her students receive the highest quality education and are well-prepared for their future careers.
