BIO

I enjoy teaching Organisational Behaviour and co-producing learning spaces that encourage critical thinking on organising and managing work. I am also interested in exploring embodied experiences and the corporeal dynamics that emerge during organisational encounters, with a particular interest in what bodies can do within these interactions. Through my work, I attempt to foster critical engagement, creativity, and inclusivity—both in research and in the classroom. In my PhD thesis, which I completed in 2025, I explored the lived realities of worker-client interactions in body work encounters. Using an ethnographic approach, I studied how the multiple sensory and affective experiences generated through the interactions of human and more-than-human bodies make things happen in body work. Driven by my love for poetry and entanglements with other forms of aesthetics, I adopted creative methods to “write differently,” moving beyond traditional conventions in Management and Organisational Studies.

I had my first work experience as a team member in the Production Department of a Sri Lankan software development and data processing company that was collaborating with a global music and broadcast rights management software company in the UK. Alongside my current role at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, I have five years of experience as a visiting lecturer for the New Dimensions in Management Course at the Faculty of Management Studies, the Open University of Sri Lanka. During my PhD studies at the University of York, UK, I worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, guiding BA (Hons) Business and Management students through the Foundations of Business Ethics and supporting their academic writing. I also led seminars in Research Design for postgraduate students in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
