Presentation
I am associated professor at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy. My research focuses on the interconnection between legitimacy, institutions, and nationalism. I am particularly focused on the ways that organizations and actors appropriate narratives about national collectives as a way to legitimize practices and business models.
My research focuses on three main areas:
Uses of history: I am interested in the ways organizations and companies have used and appropriated the past in order to increase legitimacy, facilitate change and build their brands.
Nationalism and monetary history: In particular how the legitimacy of currencies and central banks relates to national identity.
Maritime history and the historical, narrative construction of maritime and seafaring nations.
I am member of the editorial board of Kulturstudier – a Danish journal of ethnography and history.
Primary research areas
- Uses of history in organizations
- Maritime history
- Brand- and corporate heritage
- Financial and monetary history
- National identity and nationalism
