In my research, I engage with debates around new institutional theory, economic sociology, organisational and technological innovation, and a range of research approaches and methods, including comparative and qualitative analysis. Through this work, I argue that organisations need to be understood as key sites of power, and that they should be analysed within their broader institutional contexts. My research projects include: With Lawrie Zion, Andrew Dodd, Penny O'Donnell, Matthew Ricketson, Merryn Sherwood and Mark Deuze, an ARC funded project entitled New Beats: A study of Australian journalists who became redundant during and since 2012, with industry partners, the MEAA, NLA and ABC. With David Nolan, Karen Farquharson, Denis Muller, and Michael Gawenda, I completed work on an ARC Linkage funded project on the communication needs of Sudanese-Australians. The ABC and AMES were our industry partners. I also work with Matthew Nicholson and Merryn Sherwood on sport and media, and with Suzanne Young and Geoff Durden on CSR in organisational contexts. With colleagues Andrew Kenyon, Amanda Whiting, and Tim Lindsey, I completed work on an ARC funded comparative study of journalism practice and defamation law, in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as Australia, the UK and the US, while Ann Capling and I conducted ARC funded research on organisational transformation in the Australian Football League.
