Edward Elgar Publishing: In Conversation With hosts in-depth conversations with the authors and editors behind our pioneering publications.Today we speak to Christa Sathish, one of the lead advocates for the positive academia movement. Christa is a Lecturer in Management and Marketing at the University of Westminster and her research focuses on organizational culture and change. In 2001, she began her career as a scientist in pharmaceutical research and development, moved into global development as a project coordinator for a United Nations Institute for Training, and worked as an international educator in South India. Her academic education focused on business and management, but she completed her PhD in Media practices. These experiences across science, policy, and education have grounded her focus on organizational culture and change, supporting her understanding of how systems shift not just in theory, but through lived practice. Her research is both theoretical and empirical, but always led by a dedication to ‘doing’. She likes taking time to reflect, write, and turn knowledge into a tangible, meaningful impact.In this episode Christa talks about her route into academia, her passion for the positive academia movement, and the CYGNA group which supports women's empowerment in academia. We discuss her forthcoming book with Edward Elgar Publishing, 'How to Build an Academic Heterotopia' and we finish by reflecting on the joy and care involved in editing books.For more information on Christa Sathish and her work, please see:Christa Sathish websitePositive Academia websitePositive Academia LinkedInTo learn more about Edward Elgar Publishing, feel free to check out:Website: ⁠https://www.e-elgar.com/⁠LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/edward-elgar-publishing⁠Bluesky: @elgarpublishing.bsky.social YouTube: ⁠@edwardelgarpublishing⁠Facebook: /EdwardElgarPublishingInstagram: ⁠@elgar_publishing
