Forskningsområder

Although a management and organization scholar by training, I have never been able to summon much interest in the orthodoxy of management studies but have taken a critical and interdisciplinary approach focusing on how we organise our private and social lives as employees and consumers. Now, thirty-odd years into my academic career, I consider myself an organizational and economic sociologist with a strong inclination towards the philosophy and history of organizing. My current interests lie in alternative organizing against climate change as well as in the past and present of universities and academia. Most of my work is theoretical, with occasional detours into qualitative empirical research. I have been employed at universities in Germany, the UK and now Denmark. I have written two monographs and published in some of the most prestigious organization studies journals.
