Research Interests

Adopting a phenomenon-based, science-practice lens, Catriona's research aims to extend emerging debates and scholarship on significant mega-trends and important contemporary developments in societal and organizational contexts more broadly (in particular temporariness, plurality, complexity and uncertainty), which challenge our conventional understanding of both organization as entity and organizing as process.

Areas of specific interest:
  • Time and Temporality
  • New forms of Organizing
  • Temporariness and Projectification of Post-Bureaucratic Work, Organization and Society
  • Complex and systemic change and ecosystems of work and organization
  • Organizing for sustainability
