From 2002-2005, Victoria Johnson was a fellow in the Society of Scholars at the University of Michigan Business School and a visiting assistant professor in that school’s Department of Management and Organizations, winning the award for undergraduate teaching from the BBA graduating class of 2005. She holds a BA in philosophy from Yale University and a PhD in sociology from Columbia University. Her dissertation, entitled “Founding Culture: Art, Politics, and Organization at the Paris Opera, 1669-1792,” lies at the intersection of the sociology of culture, history, musicology, and organization theory.

Current Projects:
A book version of her dissertation, entitled Backstage at the Revolution: How the Royal Paris Survived the End of the Old Regime, will be published by the University of Chicago Press in October 2008. Victoria is also lead editor of an interdisciplinary volume on opera in France and Italy, published by Cambridge University Press in 2007. She has recently begun her next major research project, which concerns how the movement for environmental sustainability is changing the organizational field of botanical gardens. Her teaching interests include organizational theory, nonprofit history and management, and the arts.
