Biography
I would describe my research area broadly as critical business ethics. In this context I have applied critical and ethical approaches to a number of distinct areas: ethics and HRM (critiquing unitarism in HRM); stakeholder theory (developing critical and relational understandings of stakeholder theory); CSR (developing political CSR approaches to employment and HRM); and corporate accountability (analysing CSR reporting and visual rhetoric in corporate reports). I have an ongoing interest in publication ethics.
I serve as Co-Editor-in-Chief for Journal of Business Ethics. Please read our latest editorial Deepening Methods in Business Ethics and previous editorials Focusing on Ethics and Broadening our Intellectual Base and Deepening Ethical Analysis in Business Ethics.
