He directed the ESRC Warwick Doctoral Training Centre and was a member of the REF2021 sub-panel for Sociology.

His key publications include 'Max Weber and Contemporary Capitalism' and the edited volume 'Future Social Theory', which explores themes such as cosmopolitanism and post-colonialism. Gane has contributed significantly to the discourse on neoliberalism, investigating its historical and political implications, and analyzing its relationship with debt and finance.
