Professor of Business and Society at J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics, Kate Kenny has been researching whistleblowing in organisations for the past 10 years, across a range of sectors from the Gardaí to finance. Working with academic and industry collaborators, as well as whistleblowers themselves, Prof Kenny investigates the professional and legal structures that deny the voices of dissenters, and those that aim to support them. Launching in 2025, her upcoming book Regulators of Last Resort explores familiar cases such as Amazon and Facebook to ask: what is the price that whistleblowers pay, and who can offer them support?
