Research Interests
A critical organizational communication scholar, Grimes is interested in analyzing (textually and visually) issues of whiteness, "race" and gender in relation to communication, representation, identity, change and power in organizations and culture. She has recently begun work in the area of contemplative communication. The common thread in her work is a consideration of how problematic assumptions get recreated in everyday life. She is an associate editor for the journal Gender, Work and Organization.

Expertise: critical organizational communication, race and gender in communication, managing diversity and contemplative communication.
