Profile
Biography
I am a Professor of Management and Organisation Studies and a member of the Management and Marketing Subject Group at Essex Business School. In my research, I adopt an interdisciplinary, qualitative, humanities- and social sciences-based approach to studying management, organisations and the processes of organising. I am particularly interested in the multifaceted forms, intersections and implications of organisational diversity in the context of internationalisation and globalisation. Conceptually, my research has drawn from cultural studies, history, linguistics, literary theory, philosophy, sociology and translation studies. In recent years, the research projects I have been involved in have addressed the following areas: (1) languages, multilinguality and translation in organisations; (2) organisational diversity and inclusion, with a focus on gender and linguistic inclusion; (3) global professional mobility and careers; (4) critical management education; (5) ethics, politics and aesthetics of leadership. I am actively involved in editorial work and currently serve as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Management Learning. I am committed to promoting equality, diversity and and inclusion in universities and in particular in business schools. Since July 2020, I have been the Vice Chair of the British Academy of Management for Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity. My teaching and supervision expertise covers a range of areas associated with management, organisation studies, international business and international management.
