My research addresses positive relationships and relationality of organizational life in at least three ways: One is the relational nature of agency—both in terms of how it is produced in interactions and its prosocial orientations. This extends to how values work in organizations is situated in joint inquiry. Another is the relational nature of organizational creativity as inherently collective and intertextual processes. A third is the relational nature of collaborative research, including practices for research-practitioner co-creation and research as an ethics.
