Ai joined the Department of Human Resource Management at Southampton Business School in 2021. She holds a PhD in Psychology from the London School of Economics. Her research focuses on clustered themes such as gender and body identity in the context of everyday work practices, as well as power, ethics, and accountability in implementing technological change. Ai employs methodological expertise in field ethnography and digital ethnography, which allows her to study real-life experiences and interactions through an embodied, affect-based perspective. Her recent monograph, 'Accountability Mourning: Accounting Death Time COVID-19', published in the journal 'Accounting, Organization Society', examines the political and ethical implications of accounting techniques within the framework of accountability practices. Ai is an avid reader of feminist and poststructuralist philosophies. She is also open to supervising PhD students whose research interests align with her focus on problem-solving-oriented interdisciplinary projects.
