Q1. What do you think is the current position of sustainability in the management research landscape?
I played with three options here.
• One: sustainability is a peripheral member

• Three: a source of novelty and insight

I am focused on four issues:
• Relationality
• Temporality
• Performativity
• Materiality
Q3. Which areas/methods/topics do you think will be topical in the coming decade?
• UNSDGs
