Research Interests

My research interests are broadly anchored in organizational institutionalism and fall at the intersection of novel ideas and practices, (strategic) communication and changing meaning structures, as well as institutional arrangements and strategies for broader social change. I am particularly intrigued by the role of verbal, visual, and multimodal forms of communication, which I explore through an array of phenomena such as urban planning and the projection of futures for social change. Methodologically, my focus is on qualitative (social semiotic) approaches to textual and discourse analysis, including visual and multimodal analysis.
