Primary research areas
Subjectivity and Society
Examining how subjectivities are always embedded in historical, material, cultural, and socio-economic structures that influence them in significant ways. Examining how late capitalist societies affect and shape their subjects. Applying critical and psychoanalytic theories to understand contemporary social relations and relations to the non-human.
Critical Business Ethics and Organization Studies
Applying philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives to scrutinize traditional business ethics and challenge the power dynamics and ideological presumptions at play in various organizational structures, disciplinary arrangements and lived experiences.
Making marginalized voices heard
Criticizing shortcomings in what exists and paving the way for better developments and improved opportunities.
With my research I hope to contribute to developing a critical understanding of late capitalist societies and the socio-environmental challenges of our time, so that we can think more clearly about how to mitigate them.
