My research focuses on intellectual history within organization and management theory, and how this has configured contemporary research, practice, and management education. This pursuit has led me to become especially engaged with the following areas:

• The re-appraisal of classical texts and thinkers within Organization Theory
• The investigation of personae in organizational research, practice and education, with a particular focus on knowledge, ethics, character and conduct
• The historic influence and contemporary possibilities of American Pragmatism, with a particular but not exclusive focus on the work of John Dewey
• Practice-based and Action-oriented approaches within strategy and organization
• Historical and Archival research within management and organization studies
• The current state and future trajectory of the field of organization studies

I am an ad-hoc reviewer for Organization Studies and Organization, and a member of the European Group for Organization Studies (EGOS), the British Academy of Management (BAM), the Management History Research Group (MHRG), and the Research Committee for the Sociology of Organizations at the International Sociological Association (ISA).

I am currently teaching the following modules:

MANU9LM: Leadership & Management (Undergraduate)
BUSU9MC: Managing Change (Undergraduate)
HRMP009: Managing Change & People (Postgraduate)
