He was professor of political economy and social policy at Manchester University before leaving for the chair of social policy at the University of Bath in 1995. On retirement in 2009 he moved to London to concentrate on his current research at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Professor Gough’s current research project, supported by an ESRC grant, is on the intersection of climate change mitigation policy and social policy.
