Biography
From the same city as Michael Palin, Sean Bean and The Full Monty, Martin Wood is a teacher, researcher, theorist, writer and filmmaker. In the past he has served at leading public research universities in the UK.
In 2011 he became a professor in the School of Management at RMIT University. He coordinates the The Arts of Design and Management Research Cluster in the RMIT Centre for Sustainable Organisations and Work.
Martin has published in key scholarly outlets including the Academy of Management Journal, for which he jointly won the 2005 Best Paper Award. In 2010 his short documentary film Lines of Flight (2009) (Mp4 6.8Mb) won awards at film festivals internationally.
His research and scholarship does not limit itself to one field and is currently concerned with questions pertaining to the meaning, purpose and scope of:
- arts-based production and dissemination of social science knowledge;
- individual and collective resistance as a creative strategy in the global knowledge-based economy;
- post-structural approaches to management and leadership behaviour; and
- a philosophy of process, particularly the nexus among Henri Bergson, Gilles Deleuze, and Alfred North Whitehead.
