Research

Over the last 5 years I have been developing a research focus which takes a critical approach to Higher Education as a social practice. Two successful funding bids used Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) and ideas of 'global citizenship' as prisms through which to explore pedagogic practices based on Habermasian ideas of communicative action. More recently my research has considered the implications of PRME in reinforcing particular understandings of the purpose of management education and this analysis forms the basis for ongoing research on the effects of western perspectives in management education.
