Adrian is an organisational theorist specialising in the study of extreme contexts ? environments marked by risks, emergencies, and disruption. Through a combination of ethnographic fieldwork and organisational theory, Adrian explores how individuals and groups experience, navigate, and perform work in these challenging settings. His research provides nuanced insights into the ways people adapt and maintain functionality in the face of uncertainty and danger, and his current work focuses on two unique groups: prison officers and paedophile hunters. Adrian completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge, funded by a full ESRC scholarship, and was a finalist for the prestigious 2024 Grigor McClelland Doctoral Dissertation Award.
