Dr Anna De Amicis is a Lecturer in Management and Media at Henley Business School.

Her research focuses primarily on alternative and artistic organising, examining how artistic practices and materialities can generate, sustain and challenge different ways of organising. A developing strand of her research explores posthuman and multispecies organising, including questions of interspecies power, care and ethics.

Anna also has a research and teaching interest in media industries, social entrepreneuring and professional development that questions conventional assumptions about leadership, value and organisational life. Across her research, she uses qualitative, arts-based, participatory methods to examine how organisation studies might move beyond exclusively human-centred understandings of organisational life.

Before entering academia, Anna worked as an organisational psychologist and subsequently as a cultural producer and curatorial assistant.
