Educational Background

Research Interests – Work in Progress

Positioned within the field of Consumer Culture Theory, my current research uses qualitative methods such as critical discourse analysis to examine how ideological work shapes marketplaces and consumer experiences by way of powerful messaging. I am involved in projects that examine power and discourse in the cases of policy changes (e.g., payday loans, cannabis legalization) and the use of public services (e.g., nursing homes, emergency departments). Theoretically, I engage with work on the political shaping of consumption and ethics in a capitalist society. My theoretical lens draws on Foucauldian conceptions of power, practice theory and embodied knowledge, as well as research from political psychology on distributive justice.

Thesis Topic

Inter-professional decision-making in healthcare: A scoping review

Research Interests – Work in Progress

I study social and organizational theories that explain barriers to collaboration between workers from diverse backgrounds. I am exploring these themes in studies examining identity management strategies, interracial interactions, and organizational climates of diversity. The implications of these studies can help us understand how we can maximize the potential we can get from working well with each other, regardless of stigmatized identities.

Thesis Topic

Platform Governance and its Implications for Ecosystem Growth, Evolution and Generativity

Research Interests – Work in Progress

My research interests lie at the intersection of strategy and innovation within the digital economy, with a particular focus on value co-creation in platform ecosystems. My graduate research has centered on two closely related directions: 1) exploring the implications of platform ecosystems as new forms of organizing and 2) developing a nuanced understanding of how platform ecosystems are governed. My dissertation specifically investigates how platform governance affects ecosystem-level outcomes such as growth, evolution & generativity. Through various governance-oriented studies I seek to contribute towards an ecosystem perspective that reflects platform firms’ agency and highlights the strategic decisions and critical capabilities developed by platform firms to nurture ecosystem vitality.
