Anita's research is grounded in critical organisational studies, focusing on the intersection of neoliberal capitalism, political economy, and workplace dynamics. Her work critically examines moralistic workplace bullying through Gramscian hegemony, revealing how power, privilege, and organisational norms enable the ejection of marginalised employees. She also investigates gender, racism, class, and their intersectional impacts on inequality in organisational and societal contexts. Her research contributes to decolonization, anti-racism, and gender equity in academic and public institutions.
The recent publications of Dr. Garvey (2019–2025) span themes including anti-racism in academia, critical discourse analysis of bullying, climate capitalism, and the application of Habermasian and Gramscian theory to public sector leadership. These works reflect a consistent engagement with critical social theory, qualitative methodologies, and a commitment to social justice. Her interdisciplinary approach connects organisational studies with sociology, political philosophy, and environmental ethics.
