Dr Helen Mussell

My research is highly interdisciplinary. I am published across philosophy (ethics, epistemology, and ontology), heterodox economics, and social psychology.

I completed my BA (Hons) in Women’s Studies at Lancaster University, and hold an MPhil and PhD in Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge, where I was Cambridge Political Economy Society Trust Scholar (2012-2016). I am an Honorary Research Associate at the Centre for Business Research, Judge Business School, Cambridge, and a Senior Member of Newnham College, Cambridge.

Prior to academia, I pursued a career in industry between undergraduate and postgraduate studies, in sectors including media, publishing & supply chain management. This career brought me into direct contact with organisational ethics and corporate social responsibility, and relatedly with organisational culture issues regarding gender, leadership and management in the workplace.

My research focusses on organisational ethics, including fiduciary duty, trust, and power in organisations, and includes ethics in finance. I am a member of the Cambridge Social Ontology Group.

 A monograph, Care Ethics, Social Responsibility & Organizations has been commissioned by Palgrave Macmillan for publication in 2020.
