Research

research overview

  • My research focuses on the broad areas of whistleblowing and organizational strategic ignorance. I am interested in exploring how we hold powerful institutions to account while ensuring the safety of those that speak up against them, as well as how we dismantle the structures that allow for organizations to engage in and sustain various forms of wrongdoing.
