Current work

My current research interests are focused around: 

• Knowledge: its generation, uses, and violations (epistemic violence, epistemic injustice)
• Morality and ethics: the expression / suppression of moral emotions
• Social justice: equality, equity, diversities, inclusion / exclusion

My work in progress involves an exploration of the uses, and impacts of the uses, of non-disclosure agreements in a range of workplace contexts, in terms of:

• Implications for freedom in terms of restriction and liberation across work boundaries (employee/employer perspectives)
• Metaphor and story as a way to resist their impact (NDAs murder knowledge, ghost stories remain)
• Tensions between secrecy and transparency, understanding the space between the two
• Voice – muting, silencing

My PhD used Bourdieusian theory to examine how socio-economic order is challenged by different forms of organizing, power relations and decision making in global debates.
