- Profile
-
Martyn is a Senior Lecturer in Organization Studies and joined 91Ö±²¥ University Management School in February 2022, having previously worked at Durham University and the University of Leeds.
His research explores a wide range of different themes including: democratic organizing and the barriers faced in attempting to embrace more alternative ways of working; cultural representations of work within fiction, such animations and books; freedom in organizations, including efforts to understand the intricate ways that individuals constrain themselves and others within their working lives; and management learning in organizations through fairer and more inclusive practices.
Martyn's work is inspired and informed by his interdisciplinary academic past having graduated with a PhD in Political Theory from the University of Newcastle in 2010.

- Teaching interests
-
Martyn enjoys teaching students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Over the past few years, his teaching has focused on organizational behaviour, change management and qualitative methods.
He likes to encourage a critical approach to learning, placing power and reflexivity at the heart of the educational experience. The lectures and seminars conducted in his classes draw heavily on experiential learning, asking students to reflect on their own and others' engagements with the world of work and draws heavily on his own research experiences in democratic organizing.
Finally, Martyn uses films and fictional representations of work regularly within his lectures in an effort to help students 'see' concepts in action so that they can discuss these collectively and understand how they might operate (and be critiqued) on a deeper level.
