Present­a­tion
I am an Associate Professor emeritus at the Department of Management, Society and Communication.

I am mostly interested in the interfaces of academic and other practices, in the relation of communication and social / organizational context (text production as social interaction, academic literacy /writing and supervision), and in communication ethics (sustainable and responsible communication). My research investigates also the co-creation of sustainability, leadership and change when it comes to city management and governance.

I am an elected Member of The Board of K1: Association of Professional Communicators; Denmark.
