Research

Current work

My research is primarily about how organisations and institutions deal with uncertainty. This is relevant for all areas of management and organisation but I am particularly interested in 'surprises' - events that defy our expectations because they are wholly unanticipated.


Main expertise

My research has focused on

  • government agencies and other organisations that are related to emergencies, disasters and crises, whether natural, industrial, financial or otherwise
  • the contribution of new technologies to the financialisation of organisations that are not primarily finance organisations - e.g. algorithms in healthcare organisations such as the UK National Health Service (NHS)
  • the use of statistical and probabilistic knowledge in research and social scientific reasoning


Other expertise

My fieldwork is primarily ethnographic but I am interested in a broad range of qualitative methods as well as the sociology, history, and philosophy of quantitative methods, especially their relationship to ethics.


Ongoing research

I am currently also researching

  • the organisation and organisational communication of value in alternative organisations, especially building societies
  • how diagnostic reasoning takes shape in different professions
  • changes in the organisational purpose of government agencies, charities and social enterprises


Postgraduate supervision

I am currently available to supervise research students in all areas related to my research
