Research interests:
Sadhvi Dar holds a Diploma in Art and Design, a BSc in Psychology and a PhD in Management Studies. Her research interests include NGOs, international development (focus on India) and third sector organizations. Theoretically, Sadhvi finds inspiration in postcolonial and psychoanalytic perspectives, however, also has an interest in organizational theory more broadly. Sadhvi has expertise in ethnography, discourse / narrative approaches, cross-cultural analysis and interviewing. She has co-edited a book with Professor Bill Cooke entitled, The New Development Management: Critiquing the Dual Modernization, which looks at the trajectory of development as a modern idea, and about the continuing encroachment of managerialism into social life. Her recent work has critiqued the role of reporting practices in NGOs working with non-literate communities.
Sadhvi teaches Corporate Social Responsibility to undergraduates and Qualitative Research Methods to postgraduates.
Sadhvi has a long-standing commitment to third sector and voluntary organizations; she is a volunteer at Mind and Oxfam. She has previously worked with Save the Children (Education and HIV/AIDS), the Naz Foundation (HIV/AIDS and gay rights) and CARE (monitoring and evaluation) in India.
