Research interests
Miriam’s research interests centre on representations of theory
in texts such as textbooks and research papers. She is focussing on a particular
text in the organisation/management literature - Burns T & Stalker GM (1961,
1966) The Management of Innovation. The research includes textual / discourse
analysis of this text in relation to representations of it; and also the way
scholars have learned of, understood and used the text in their research and
teaching. She is now doing doctoral research based on this research and the
issues arising from it.
