Expertise

I am an associate professor of strategy and organization theory and a member of the OCE research center. I am interested in the transformations of capitalism and its implications on some social trends. I examine how policy makers attempt to regulate markets, how businesses consequently transform and adapt, and the consequences on work, family life, exclusion and poverty. I am also interested in how people resist these tendencies, find alternatives, and challenge the ethics behind them. My work is mainly qualitative although I sometimes use quantitative methods to show structural trends. Currently, I am involved in three projects: the first one examines solidarity and resistance to some neoliberal trends and the ethics behind them in large corporations or outside them; the second one explores the relationship between power relations at work and the rise of nationalism; and the third one investigates how citizens re-(or dis)organize under the threat of war.
