I am interested in studying the articulation of the material and social dimensions of phenomena such as the application of work practices and the development of knowledge in an organizational setting. More specifically, my research concerns the organizational dimension of materiality and the interactional dynamics supporting the process of technological change, starting from approaches such as situated action, distributed cognition, structuration and activity theory. I have recently begun research into the materialization of knowledge in workplace collectives. Lastly, I am also looking at field research methods.
