About

I am interested in general in the communication of meaning in organizational and policy settings.  Present research includes comparative immigrant and integration policies, Dutch race-ethnic category-making, reflective practice and practice studies, science museums and the idea of 'science,' and US Institutional Review Board and other research regulatory policies and practices.

My publications include:

- in policy studies:  How does a policy mean?  Interpreting policy and organizational actions (Georgetown University Press, 1996); Conducting interpretive policy analysis (Sage, 2000); and Constructing "race” and “ethnicity" in America:  Category-making in public policy and administration (M E Sharpe, 2003; winner of the 2004 ASPA and 2007 Herbert A. Simon-APSA book awards);

- in organizational studies: the co-edited Knowing in organizations: A practice-based approach (M E Sharpe, 2003); Organizational ethnography:  Studying the complexities of everyday life (Sage, 2009); Organizational spaces:  Rematerializing the workaday world (Edward Elgar, 2010); and Organizational culture (reference volumes, Edward Elgar, 2011); and

- in methodology and methods (in addition to those named above):  Interpretation and method:  Empirical research methods and the interpretive turn (M E Sharpe, 2006) and Interpretive Research Design: Concepts and Processes (Routledge, in press), both with Peregrine Schwartz-Shea. We are also co-editors of the new Routledge Series on Interpretive Methods.
