Grimes explores the influence of organizational and popular culture on unexamined assumptions about race and whiteness in the 2023 book "Through the Lens of Whiteness: Challenging Racialized Imagery in Pop Culture." A recent chapter in "The Routledge Handbook of Ethnicity and Race in Communication" called “Race and Organizational Communication: Tired of Saying it” considers longstanding assumptions about race in the organizational disciplines.
Grimes has also published in Management Communication Quarterly, TAMARA: The Journal of Critical Postmodern Organization Science, Social Politics and The Journal of Business Communication, among others.
She is the director of Syracuse’s Contemplative Collaborative and lead editor on a book on contemplative research methods. She is an affiliated faculty member in the Department of Writing Studies, Rhetoric, and Composition and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.
