BIO
I teach contemporary issues in management and research methodology in the Department of Business Administration. I am interested in researching the management of people in the Global South periphery. As part of this or other work, I attempt to understand whether and how Western ontological and epistemological assumptions, as well as ‘turns’ and ‘trends’ in management and organisation studies, colonise us, diverting our focus from the ‘real’ issues in the periphery. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, particularly literature and philosophy, listening to music from all genres, and watching cricket and movies, especially classics, satires, and comedies.
