My name is Helen Eccleston and I am a second year PhD candidate at the University of Central Lancashire, working within the Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise. I am currently engaged in an application of social practice theory to strategic doings, by investigating the relationship between practice and strategizing, to build a better understanding of the “doing” of strategy. I am interested in the philosophical and methodological implications of using such a serious sociological analysis. In 2017 I completed a master’s degree in Business Management, where I paid particular focus within my research project on workplace challenges within the daily ‘doings’ of business. This highlighted my keen interest in the micro level analysis on understanding organisational phenomena. In my spare time I enjoy walking my dogs and bouldering
