I am an ethnographer of work and organizations interested in the everyday challenges of public administration and political collective action. My research examines how people organize and work towards social change goals in complex or hostile environments. I have studied the efforts of unionized workers during a strike; activists using community organizing strategies in an electoral campaign; and the everyday work of policy analysts and regulatory oversight officers in times of anti-bureaucracy and anti-establishment political reforms. I teach courses on organization theory, power, social change, and qualitative research.​

​

I am an assistant professor of management and organizations within the ERA Chair in Social Innovation at Nova School of Business and Economics.

 

I co-organize the Ethnography Atelier, a collaborative space that promotes ethnographic and other qualitative research in work and organizations.
