Her research spans extreme contexts such as the sex trade, cannabis use, and unemployment, with a focus on amplifying voices of marginalized groups like women, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and seniors. She examines how stigma hierarchies and emotional dynamics create barriers or pathways for social innovation.
Recent work highlights stigma-exploiting entrepreneurship as a mechanism for challenging institutional norms, particularly in taboo industries. Her publications in top journals like Administrative Science Quarterly and Academy of Management Journal demonstrate interdisciplinary rigor bridging sociology, ethics, and organizational theory.
Scientific awards include the Southam/Edmonton Journal Faculty Fellowship (2018). She currently holds SSHRC grants totaling over $270,000 for research on perimenopause and career transitions and stigma-exploiting entrepreneurship.
