// An organizational theorist by training, my research examines the role of organisations and the people within them in shaping social sustainability. In this context, I centrally explore (i) how organisations contribute to social problems and (ii) how they can act as agents of positive social change. In this context, I am primarily interested in the topics of scandals, misconduct, negative social evaluations, and processes of social integration.
Methodologically, I explore these topics through qualitative data and analysis covering in-depth interviewing, participant observations, and archival sources.
Most recently, I have conducted research in an array of empirical settings including social housing organizations, prisoner re-entry organizations, capital punishment in the U.S., and the UK Post Office.
My works has been published (or is forthcoming) in the the Academy of Management Journal, the Journal of Management studies, Research in the Sociology of Organizations, and other outlets and has received awards such as the Academy of Management OMT Division's Responsible Research Award, the UKRI Global Challenges Research Prize, and the British Academy Leverhulme Trust Prize.
