Research Interests
I am a Senior Lecturer in Queen's Management School and Academic Director of the William J. Clinton Leadership Institute. I am also a Fellow of the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice and a Senior Fellow of Northern Ireland's policy Think Tank - Pivotal. My research explores leadership, change and organisational development in politically volatile environments, including those affected by ethno-political conflict.
You can access some of my work - such as a free chapter of a previous book on organisational change in Northern Ireland policing here, or my recently published 4* open access paper on framing and system wide change here.
My new book - Management and War: How Organisations Navigate Conflict and Build Peace, is currently in production with Palgrave Macmillian and will be launched in August 2020. It explores the practices of management in the midst of on-going ethno-political conflict and subsequent conflict transformation processes. One of the main objectives of the book is a clarification of the emerging sub discipline of managing in environments of conflict and political fragility. It draws on three case examples (Northern Ireland, Bosnia and the Basque region) and asks how organisational managers in the public, private and non-profit sectors engage with ethno-political violence and its legacy at a community, organisational and political level. Drawing on interviews and witness seminars with managers and leaders in the three cases, the work provides a background analysis to each case before focusing on emergent themes from the data itself.
My current research project is entitled 'A Duty of Hope: The Anglo-Irish Division and the Work of Peace in Ireland'. It documents the activities, development and impact of the Anglo-Irish Division of the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs through the prism of peacebuilding and conflict diplomacy. Drawing on extensive interviews with public officials and those with whom they worked, the book explores the iteration of the Division itself, its relationship with other branches of government and the organisational, political and diplomatic efforts at peacebuilding over almost forty years.
