Beth A. Bechky
Professor Bechky is an ethnographer who studies interactions and dynamics at organizational and occupational boundaries. She has published her work in journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science and American Journal of Sociology. Her new book, Blood, Powder and Residue: How Crime Labs Translate Evidence into Proof, is forthcoming in January 2021 from Princeton University Press. In it, she shows how the work of forensic scientists is fraught with the tensions of serving justice—constantly having to anticipate the expectations of the world of law and the assumptions of the public—while also staying true to their scientific ideals.
