My research explores how work-life can be reimagined beyond the mainstream.  I study how organizations experiment with new ways of working whether through a different time structure such as the four-day work week, or by granting employees greater self-management and decision-making authority. I examine what these forms of experimentation mean for everyday life: for the habits people develop in such organizations, for management and leadership practices, and for the responsibilities and commitments of employees. My research helps reimagine how organizations can thrive by placing people at the heart of everyday practice
