PhD Dissertation

I defended my PhD dissertation in 2022. Through three papers, I examined how people can organize to create positive social change – specifically sustainable food systems – by harnessing the power of technology while resisting the technocratic threat to organizational democracy that often accompanies such tools.

I was honoured to be co-awarded Best Critical Dissertation by the Critical Management Studies division of the Academy of Management for this work. The below video offers a very brief summary of one of the key takeaways of the dissertation: the concept of democratic revisability.
