I am a full professor of Business & Society at the Department of Management & Society at IÉSEG School of Management in Lille, France. I teach courses on CSR and sustainability, business ethics, social movements and qualitative research methodology. In my research I am interested in business and society interactions, especially in how activist groups operate vis-a-vis firms, what strategies and tactics they use over time to evoke institutional change on issues of corporate social responsibility and in how firms respond to these challenges, for instance through political activity.

In Lille, I am co-ordinating ICOR, the IÉSEG Centre for Organizational Responsibility and a member of the LEM-CNRS (9221) research laboratory. In addition, I academic director of the Master in Management for Sustainability.
