About Me

My academic interests have focused on how culture is created, normed and changed within groups, particularly among adults in the workplace. I look at change in the workplace through multiple disciplinary lenses including education, social work, management, neuroscience, storytelling, psychology, folklore and other disciplines that may contribute to a better understanding of how we behave in workplace organizations.

Research Interests

  • Change management in workplace organizations
  • Corporate culture and ethical leadership 
  • How adults learn in the workplace
