Research Interest
Dr. Helms's research interests are on how new and sometimes contested practices become increasingly accepted by key audiences. In particular the strategic actions that actors take on behalf of those practices they care about and whether those actions shape the meaning of, and spread, those practices. His research has covered the practices of Corporate Social Responsibility, Mixed Martial Arts, Ontario fine winemaking, and, most recently, the emerging practices of social enterprises.
