Dr Daniel Fisher
Dr Daniel Fisher is a qualitative researcher. His work draws on a wide variety of theoretical lenses to understand public and private dynamics among and between organizations, as well as within occupations.
Daniel's main objective is to understand what it is like to be the person he studies. What tensions do they encounter? How does their physical environment affect them? Why do they execute their job in a particular way? He is equally interested in how organizations, hierarchically or collectively, make sense of their public and private responsibilities.
Daniel's current research program has focused on the UK rail industry as it exemplifies a setting that grapples with both public and private demands. His research has explored narrative constructions of efficiency in public organizations, how organizations shape and influence bodywork of an occupational group, moral dynamics linked with drives for efficiency and wrongdoing by public-private partnerships.
These projects have maintained his interests in processes of automation, discourses and rhetoric, processes of commensuration, misconduct and wrongdoing as well as identity and temporality in organization studies.
