Biography

My research is motivated by the documented difficulty of achieving organizational compliance with regulations, standards, and other ethical and social expectations. To examine this problem, I study the professions and work that are central in shaping how compliance is understood and practiced within and across organizations. Within organizations, I study how prosocial demands are harmonized, translated, and implemented, analyzing issues of expertise and power. Across organizations, I examine governance processes, including the organized spaces in which stakeholders and members of designated professions interact to negotiate the meaning of organizational compliance and develop resources to facilitate organizational compliance. My work has been published in Administrative Science QuarterlyOrganization Science, and Regulation & Governance. I am a former deputy editor and senior editor at Organization Science and founder of the Ethnography Atelier (www.ethnographyatelier.org), a collaborative space dedicated to teaching qualitative methods and sharing qualitative research. received my Ph.D. from the Sloan School of Management at M.I.T. Prior to joining ESSEC I was Associate Professor and William Dawson Scholar at McGill University and Professor of Management at Emlyon Business School.
