Bridging re­search and teach­ing to shape thought­ful busi­ness edu­ca­tion

Educated at London School of Economics (in philosophy of science) and Copenhagen Business School (in business administration), my research focuses on philosophy of science, business research methodology, and contemporary issues in organization studies. I am driven by the belief that philosophy of science enriches business education by helping students engage analytically with data, reflect theoretically, and remain curious in the face of ambiguity. At the same time, I see the business humanities as a vital resource for helping students reflect on and critically engage with today’s pressing challenges — from climate change and ecological crises to technological transformation and geopolitical shifts — and for preparing them to navigate the ethical and organizational dilemmas these changes create.
