My research interests primarily revolve around three key areas: internationalization of business schools in the global South, managerialism and management education, and the school-to-work transition of young adults. My recent work draws attention towards discourses of neoliberalism, globalization and individualization of society which are continuously shaping pedagogies, practices and policies.

Previously, I have also used postcolonial and poststructuralist perspectives to study diversity, inequality and social reproduction in a changing world of work (esp. the role of business schools in sustaining/promoting inequalities in the workplace through different pedagogic regimes). My on-going research projects and collaborations aim to explore how work identities are appropriated and negotiated by individuals at the intersection of social class, gender, and/or religion. Future areas of research include upskilling of young migrant workers; responsible and inclusive pathways to work; and sustainability in business and management education.

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.
