My research interests are in the role that fictions play in various forms and modes of cultural production from works of art, to organizational structures, to markets and popular culture. I have previously used this approach to study the politics of post financial crisis popular music. I am a part of the research team lead by Associate Professor, Ana Alacovska, on the Sapere Aude research project, "Operative Fictions: how popular culture genres get-in-action in social life".
