Katie’s research typically explores the intersection of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), leadership, and (organizational) change. As an ethnographer who was initially trained in the humanities, Katie often brings unique lenses (e.g., spatial and temporal lenses) into management and organization scholarship to theorize phenomena in new ways. Her work has been published in journals such as the Academy of Management Annals, the Journal of Management Studies, and the Journal of Organizational Behavior.
