I study, teach, and write about questions and situations related to learning, knowing, and understanding. I explore various frameworks for describing and coming to understand embodiment, self-consciousness (or reflective consciousness), and the social construction of “reality” as they relate to dialogue and the practice and theory of leadership. I am interested in how individuals, groups, and organizations reflect leadership practice as interpreted philosophically and through the broad lens of social theory. I am also deeply committed to studying and teaching both qualitative and quantitative methodologies in the service of transdisciplinary leadership studies research.
