Research Interests

My main research area is, and has been for the entirety of my career, organizational sociology, cultural anthropology of organizing and organization theory. Current research interests involve ethnographic studies of organizations, and in particular: alternative organizations; organizational archetypes; the commons/ the common good. The core of these areas turns around sociological, ethnographic and organizational imagination.
