Director of the Center for Responsible Leadership and Academic Lead for SSE, my work focuses on how organisations contribute to inclusive societies. In particular, I investigate representation and interaction, in mutually respectful and enriching ways, with those perceived as the cultural Other. For the last few years, I have paid special attention to how the representation of persons with a migration background is done in recruitment processes. I consider contributions from critical management, critical sociology, feminist and postcolonial organization studies to further diversity management research.
Research Areas:
Critical management studies
Multiple-paradigm studies
