RESEARCH AGENDA

Generative Conflict in Multistakeholder Groups

My research is fundamentally concerned with "What relational, structural, and systemic conditions in multistakeholder groups, organizations, and fields lead to generative conflict processes?" My research engages extant conflict, cross-cultural management, as well as multi-stakeholder process theories to support research and theory-building on conflict transformation at the group, organizational and institutional levels. Further, I theorize how conflict can be transformed and ultimately contribute to the social good and collective well-being. My more recent research projects explores how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in multistakeholder groups results in better collaborations and more ethical decision-making. My research is translated into three dimensions. (See below.)

Intragroup Conflict

Multistakeholder Dynamics

Organizational Ethics

I examine conflict processes in multi-stakeholder groups and investigate how cross-level conflict dynamics affect organizing. I also study how social innovations arise from conflicts in multi-stakeholder organizing processes.

Organizational Ethics

Multistakeholder Dynamics

Organizational Ethics

I examine the ethical implications of disruptive practices aimed at the "social good." For example, I investigate how leader's use emotion work to navigate calling and using ethical voice to impact structural and systemic ills.

Multistakeholder Dynamics

I examine how multistakeholder groups collaborate across cultural differences, as well as how the use of AI (and other generative technologies) lead to more ethical decision-making. I am particularly interested in how intergenerational and cross-cultural organizing supports social sustainability.

RESEARCH IMPACT

INTERGENERATIONAL DYNAMICS & SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY LAB

In Fall 2022, I launched a research lab that investigates intergenerational dynamics and social sustainability leadership in organizations and multi-stakeholder partnerships. Our current projects are focused on (1) multistakeholder partnerships addressing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to bolster sustainability initiatives in West Africa, and (2) intergenerational organizing in sustainability movements.

ENGAGED SCHOLARSHIP IN SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

Across the course of my academic and practice careers, I have applied research insights to support the development and sustainability of organizations, communities and governments across the globe. These projects have included studying and investigating equity movements in institutions, the implementation of restorative justice in organizations, equitable education practices in the Middle East, and transformative justice practices (including culturally relevant and sustainable health practices) in West African countries.
