Presentation and academic fields

My research interests revolve around organization studies and in particular organizational changes.

I finished my Ph.D. in 2020 with the title: The Infinite Storm - An Ethnographic Study of Organizational Changes in a Bank. The focus of the research was on how employees and leaders make sense of organizational changes in a Nordic bank. Theoretically, the research project was grounded in a process-philosophical approach to organizational changes often referred to as ‘Organizational becoming’.

Since then, I have ""translated"" my research into a book for practitioners with the title: Mikroforandringer - et medarbejderblik på organisationsforandringer (Dansk Psykologisk Forlag, 2021).
 
In addition, I have an interest in exploring and applying qualitative methods, circulating around ethnographic fieldwork, shadowing and narrative interviews. A special interest has been in exploring the role as ‘insider’, being employed in the organization studied.

I teach in Organizational and Innovative Learning.
