Nishi Gautam

I am Nishi Gautam, a doctoral candidate at the College of Management, University of Massachusetts, Boston. 

​

My research focuses on employees and firms as change agents. In my current work is on employee activism, I examine both macro and micro structures and processes that constrain and enhance activism and its outcomes, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. I aim to highlight how activists, by leveraging various opportunity structures and processes—such as interactions with firms, tactics, and the use of social media framing—drive change within organizations and broader society.
