Accepting Doctoral Students

Personal profile

Research interests

My research interests revolve around finding new pathways to developing leaders and managers with emphasis on social transformation and change. This focus feeds into three of my on-going projects: 1). empowering youth in a changing world of work, 2). gender diversity in software development, and 3). the role of business schools in addressing climate change

Previously, I have used a variety of perspectives to study power dynamics within organisations with a focus on how business schools perpetuate and legitimize workplace inequalities through managerialist regimes. Most of my research is interdisciplinary in nature as I work at the intersection of sociological, psychological, and organisational debates while employing a range of methodological and analytical approaches (including reflective diaries, participant observations, interviews, historical and textual inquiry and in some instances longitudinal surveys to support qualitative data analysis). My work has been published in world leading (ABS 4*/3*) journals which include Human Relations, HRMJ, Business History, Journal of Business Ethics, Management Learning, and the Journal of Business Research. I also serve on the editorial boards of the Academy of Management Learning and Education, Human Relations, and the Journal of Management Studies.
