Personal profile

Curriculum

As a cultural sociologist, I am concerned with how societal discourses are reflected, created, and challenged in the everyday practices of organizations. Currently, I work as a postdoctoral researcher in the "Organised Creativity" research group, funded by the German Research Council and based at Free University Berlin and Leuphana University Lüneburg. In this role, I explore how notions of failure, time, and secrecy shape creativity and innovation processes. My research spans various organizational contexts, including digital media, scientific laboratories, and the healthcare industry, which I study through processual and practice-based lenses. I serve on the editorial team of ephemera: theory and politics in organization and am a guest researcher and External Lecturer at Copenhagen Business School, where I teach courses on organizational theory, innovation, alternative organizations, and sustainable futures.
