Dissertation Research
Broadly stated, my dissertation research concerns approaches to patient safety in the National Health Service as they illuminate processes of organizational learning in complex institutional environments. I am especially interested in how professional identities and practices are being articulated at the interstices of changing regimes of accountability and the rapidly expanding repertoires of technologically mediated knowledge around quality and safety in healthcare delivery.
