I am passionate about ethnography and qualitative methods. I am particularly keen to reflect - together with fellow ethnographers - on the 'making of ethnography' especially regarding the relational work it entail and the way qualitative researchers present empirical evidence.'

Activities

Ethnography Atelier (2018-ongoing)
I am a member of the Ethnography Atelier, a collaborative space that promotes ethnographic and other qualitative research in work and organizations. We organize on-line and off-line opportunities for researchers to discuss and develop each other’s work and share resources to foster engagement with a variety of qualitative methods. |
Ethnography Circle (2016-2018)
I have organized two editions of the ethnography circle at Warwick University. This was a cycle of meetings in which ethnographers (and qualitative researchers more generally) from a variety of disciplines come together to explore the challenges associated with this research approach in a community of practice ethos.

Summer School on Practice-Based Studies (2018)
I was the co-director of the 2018 edition of the WBS Summer School on Practice-Based Studies together with Davide Nicolini and Hari Tsoukas. This edition explored the distinctive methodological features of practice and process research as well as their similitudes and differences. The key speakers were Elizabeth Shove (Lancaster) and Ann Langley (HEC Montreal) and the event also featured the participation of the WBS faculty involved in the Practice Process and Institutions (PPI) Research Programme.
