Profile

Taymi Milán is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Researcher within the ROSETTA Fellowship Programme, co-funded by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Scheme, Lero, and the University of Galway. Her research explores the impacts of time on whistleblowing systems, whistleblower protection, and anticorruption policy design, with a particular focus on gender and intersectionality. She analyzes whistleblowing systems, reviews legislative frameworks, and evaluates protection policies, especially in the context of the European Union following the enactment of Directive 2019/1937. Taymi is also part of the University of Galway’s Whistleblowing Research Group and the BRIGHT Project, a European Commission-funded initiative in collaboration with EDHEC Business School and the European Whistleblowing Institute.

Holding a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Master’s degrees in Law, International Relations, and Policies and Practices of Development, Taymi has extensive experience in social research and consultancy. She also serves as a guest lecturer in the Specialization in Policy Design and is a member of the Comparative Politics Lab at the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences. Her research aims to enhance whistleblowing mechanisms and integrate gender and intersectionality approaches into policy design, particularly for critical sectors of public management. Her latest publication is “A Practice Review: Stakeholder Mapping and Civil Society Initiatives Focusing on Gender and Whistleblowing”, co-authored with Prof. Kate Kenny, and it is available through the University of Galway in 2024.

ROSETTA Project

The Impact of Time on Digital Whistleblowing Systems

The project analyzes how the factor of time affects the effectiveness of digital whistleblowing systems, with a particular focus on the public procurement sector, which is crucial in the fight against corruption. Despite the advancements provided by digital technologies and the European Directive 2019/1937, challenges related to time persist, such as delays in responses, restrictive deadlines, and the rigidity of legal frameworks. The study addresses three dimensions: whistleblowers (individual level), organizational culture (intra-organizational level), and public policy (extra-organizational level). It will investigate how time affects whistleblowers, particularly considering factors such as gender and other intersectional identities, as well as analyze how time management impacts organizations in terms of reputation, internal process improvement, and changes in organizational cultures.

Using Process Tracing and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), the project will identify causal mechanisms affecting the effectiveness of whistleblowing systems. The focus will be on public procurement, aiming to provide practical recommendations to optimize the governance of whistleblowing systems and enhance whistleblower protection.
