What a loss. Her work on the internal conversation is such an important contribution. I only recently explored her early publications on culture, structure and agency and her latest on A.I. Such an innovative scholar. Her work will continue to influence mine for a very long time.

@SimmsMelanie Gideon Kunda's 'Engineering Culture' is one of my favs. Rick Fantasia's 'Cultures of solidarity...' also quite good.
