Research Interests
My research seeks to integrate psychological and social-constructionist viewpoints within an ideational paradigm to open the "black box" of institutional processes. My specific interests include the micro-level and multi-level analysis of social evaluations, including legitimacy and reputation, the exploration of decoupling from a dynamic perspective, and questions of research design and research methodology, especially the application of experiments and formal modelling approaches in the study of institutionalization and legitimation.
