ABOUT ME
My research is transversal, and seeks to address societal and organizational questions with a critical perspective grounded in philosophical thought.
I am currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Organization, and member of OCE Research Center at Emlyon Business School, in Lyon, France. Originally from Mexico, I graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure d’Ulm in Philosophy and won the FNEGE-AIMS best dissertation award for the ethnography of a banking compliance team I did for my PhD in Management Science. I hold the French HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) for doctoral supervision since 2021.
​
I have been a visiting scholar in several universities abroad (University of Alberta (Canada) with a grant from the CEFAG-FNEGE; University of Leipzig (Germany), Scuola Supériore Sant'Anna di Pisa (Italy), University of Nottingham Trent (UK) with a Visiting Fellowship Grant from the British Academy), and Università di Trento (Italy).
​
My work has been published in leading academic journals such as Organization Studies; Journal of Business Ethics; Gender, Work and Organization; Organization, and the European Management Journal.
I serve as Book Reviews Editor for Organization Studies since 2017.
