His current research focuses on the “Paradoxes of Hybrid Organizing” that arise when organizations combine institutional logics from business, government, and civil society organizations. This work builds on his in-depth ethnographic research on cross-sectoral partnerships. As a research partner of the Sustainable Food Lab, he also has written case studies on company-NGO collaboration to foster sustainable and equitable food value chains.
Jay teaches three of the core courses for the MIT Sloan Sustainability Certificate and coordinates the Sloan Sustainability Research Group (SSRG). From 2008 to 2010, he co-developed and served as a project coach for MIT’s Leading Sustainable Systems (L-Lab) course with Peter Senge and Wanda Orlikowski. This course combines classroom learning on sustainability and leadership with action learning on real-world projects with partner organizations. In the 2010–11 school year, he taught the Proseminar in Sustainability, co-teaching “Strategies for Sustainable Business,” managing the Laboratory for Sustainable Business (S-Lab) course, and coordinating sustainability initiatives at MIT Sloan. Alongside these “day jobs,” Jay has been active in improving the energy and environmental footprint of the MIT campus by founding the MIT Generator and the Greening MIT community engagement campaign, and by serving as founding member of the Campus Energy “Walk the Talk” Task Force.
Prior to MIT, Jay ran an Internet startup, traveled around the world, taught kindergarten in a progressive preschool, and worked as a consultant with Dialogos International.
Jay holds an AB in psychology and an MEd from Harvard University and a PhD in organization studies from the MIT Sloan School of Management. Close«
