Presentation
A major theme in my research concerns the role of emotions in organizations and the human body in work relationships, where I use primarily ethnographic research designs to observe and inquire beyond the surface of organizations and individual experiences of organizing. I am particularly interested in how emotions at work can both facilitate and derail collective sensemaking and organizing. My work looks primarily at public organizations such as health care, correctional institutions, and the police, but also nonprofit organizations. In my current research project, I explore the organizing of police encounters with victims of violence.
Primary research areas
- Work relationships
- Emotions in organizations
- Human body at work
- Organizational sensemaking
- Narrative theory
- Systems psychodynamics
- Ethnography and qualitative methods
