I am pursuing PhD in tourism and management studies at the Business School, Department of Work and Employment, University of Strathclyde.

My research focus on development strategies for fishing communities in developing countries whose are disappearing due to natural resource decline and looking to diversify local economy. 

My research explores the potential and viability of tourism as a diversification strategy in the fishing and marginalised communities. Integrating empowerment and community development theories, my research explores young people’s representation of, and aspiration towards tourism as a diversification strategy in coastal communities in Ghana.

I believe that every community, regardless of its challenges, have assets and capabilities that can be developed to provide a sustainable livelihood outcome and well-being. I also believe that youth are future leaders and therefore need more attention from both researchers and policymakers.

I am interested in the well-being of tourism communities, rural revitalization and tourists’ behaviors. I am currently a consultant researcher for one ocean project (www.strath.ac.uk/research/strathclydecentreenvironmentallawgovernance/oneoceanhub) which is a transdisciplinary study of natural and human ecology of the ocean, focusing on improving the lives of communities in the global south. I am interested in exploring ways fishing and coastal communities can have sustainable livelihoods, particularly focusing on the role of tourism.  My research focuses on wellbeing, community development, tourism, youth studies and sustainable livelihoods.

I would be interested to meet and hear from like-minded people who are interested in collaborating to create humanistic management solutions, especially on how this can be brought into tourism research and practice.

Clark H. Warner is a doctoral candidate in management science at the Toulouse School of Management, specializing in organizational behavior. Clark’s research interests span the range of factors that influence ethical decision making at various levels. His dissertation research is in behavioral ethics with a focus on the development and use of intuition in ethical decision making. In a series of experiments, he has shown that using incentives to generate repeated behavior in business simulations can lead to the later sacrifice of rewards to continue that behavior, even, in some cases, where the behavior is unethical and the later reward is to behave ethically. Manipulation and self-report reveal that these effects only occur when the later decision is made intuitively. His onoging experiments explore the role of deliberation in the development of ethical automaticity.

Clark joined the IMHA in 2019 and has presented for the PhD network. He attended the 2019 and 2020 (virtual) AOM pre-conferences and is a frequent attendee at other IHMA events particularly those in the “Necessary Conversation” and “Intellectual Shaman” series.

Prior to his recent studies, Clark was a high-tech professional and worked at such companies as Apple, Netezza and IBM in a variety of capacities including, engineering manager, director of software engineering and Sr. director/program director of product management. He participated in the development of Apple’s MacOS X operating system as manager of the file system as well as in the development of Netezza’s NPS data warehouse appliance and many of its successors.

Clark holds a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics/computer science from Harvard University, master’s degrees from Stanford University in business administration and sociology, and a master’s degree in theological studies from the Boston University School of Theology.

Fellow Tyson Rallens is pursuing a PhD in Strategic Management at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. His research, which is sponsored by the Clarendon Fund, Green Templeton College, and the Saïd Foundation, concerns the impact of shared practices at work on the ability of organizations to change. It examines organizations as communities with distinct visions of human flourishing that are shaped by their shared practices and which shape their ability to enact specific business strategies. Tyson believes that human concerns for meaning, purpose, and wellbeing must be central in scholarship on organizations and strategy.

Tyson joined the IHMA PhD Network in Fall 2017. More recently, he helped IHMA create an online reading group for PhD students and others interested in the foundational ideas of humanistic management. He is organizing a workshop at the AOM Annual Meeting, with help from the editors of the Humanistic Management Journal, for involving early career academics in collaborative research on Humanistic Management.

Before starting a PhD, Tyson earned two masters degrees from the University of Oxford: an Executive MBA and an MSt in Literature and Arts. He has worked extensively as a software engineer and manager on teams creating data storage devices and remote monitoring tools for enterprise computing environments. He holds a BA in Liberal Arts and Culture and a BS in Computer Engineering. For fun, Tyson rows and coxes with Merton College Boat Club. When time permits, he also indulges a taste for classical literature and philosophy.

Fellow Dr. Sophia Town earned her Ph.D. in organizational communication from Arizona State University. Her research, which spans the fields of organizational communication and management, is humanistic, use-inspired and guided by one key question: “How can scholars and practitioners promote human flourishing in organizations?” Within the organizational sciences, Dr. Town takes a decidedly discursive approach by emphasizing the ways leadership and organizing are constructed in and through language.

As a scholar, Dr. Town’s research centers around humanistic leadership, mindfulness, and organizational paradox. Her current work explores how mindfulness practice (e.g., meditation) informs the way leaders approach paradoxes that arise in their organizations. This research identifies counterintuitive strategies leaders can utilize to mindfully navigate organizational paradoxes while maintaining personal and organizational wellbeing. This work is supported, in part, by the Jeanne Lind Herberger Fellowship for transformative research and praxis. 

As an educator, Dr. Town aims to inspire her students beyond a theoretical understanding of course concepts (e.g., learning about leadership) toward an embodiment of those concepts (e.g., becoming leadership). To do this, she grounds her classes in experiential learning, critical reflexivity, compassion, and mindfulness-based approaches. In 2018, Dr. Town won Arizona State University’s Teaching Excellence Award.

As a citizen, Dr. Town regularly delivers mindful leadership workshops within her community. She also serves as a research consultant for ASU’s Center for Mindfulness, Compassion, & Resilience.

Dr. Reut Livne-Tarandach is an Assistant Professor of Management at Manhattan College’s O’Malley School of Business. Her scholarly work focuses on the conditions and processes underlying the phenomenon of renewal. In her research Reut draws from mixed methods and field research to weave together theories of compassion, novelty, and change that explore how and why individuals, teams and/or organizations can simultaneously build on and transcend their past.

Her most recent work is centered on the processes that help mobilize compassion within organizations and activate organizational members to cultivate a sense of community in temporary teams.

Reut’s research has been published in outlets such as the Journal of Academy of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Research in Organizational Change and Development, Institution and Entrepreneurship: Research in the Sociology of Work, Humanistic Management Journal, Integral Theory In Action and Experimental Business Research: Marketing, Accounting and Cognitive Perspectives and Handbook of Innovative Qualitative Research Methods: Innovative Pathways and Methods.

Reut teaches UG and Graduate level courses in Organizational Behavior, Cross-Cultural Management and executive education workshops on “Cultivating Compassion”. As an educator, Reut seeks to cultivate experiential, student-centered educational experiences designed to empower students to discover how to create workplaces as nurturing spheres for humans to thrive in.

The International Humanistic Management Association has been a central learning community with which Reut has been affiliated. Reut has served as PDW co-organizer, a panelist, and round table leader in Humanistic Management Association PDWs. Reut has been an invited participant to the IHMA Social Innovation Thought Leadership conferences, where seeds of recent research collaborations have been planted.

Reut is passionate about cultivating engaged scholarships that can create a new vision of organizations as sites for development and expression of compassion. She is excited to partner with IHMA to expand the impact Humanistic Management can make on research, teaching, and practice.

Celeste Diaz Ferraro, a PhD candidate in management, organization studies and social thought at Penn State University, joined IHMA in 2017 to engage in a vibrant community bridging the divide between scholars and practitioners. Her research attempts to uncover ways business can be used as a tool to support human dignity, well-being and resilience, while her teaching and public engagement help individuals and communities leverage this knowledge for impact.

Ms. Diaz Ferraro’s practitioner experience with market-based transformation in emerging economies drives her scholarly interest in processes of power, conflict, and social change. Her current research, set in the context of the nascent industry of genomic medicine, investigates how new fields emerge and new practices spread among organizations and entrepreneurial ventures, while a second stream explores the role micro- and small enterprises play in fostering human flourishing in local economies.

Prior to entering academia, Ms. Diaz Ferraro co-founded a strategy consultancy working with small and micro-enterprises oriented toward social or environmental missions. Previously she held strategy and stakeholder-relations roles in global hospitality and communications firms, as well as policy/communications roles with the government of Puerto Rico and International Finance Corporation, the private sector development arm of the World Bank. She holds a BA from Trinity University and an MBA from Georgetown University.
