I am a postdoctoral researcher at the European University Viadrina, Germany and visiting fellow at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy. With a background in social and cultural studies, my research concerns the question of how larger societal trends and challenges are reflected, created and challenged in the mundane and colloquial practices of organizations. As a member of the research unit ‘Organized Creativity’ funded by the German Research Council and based the Free University Berlin, I currently study the role and effects of transparency and secrecy as normative concepts and concrete practice in creative and innovation processes. In further research, I have studied transparency and accountability as part water governance and policy making in the water sector. I use qualitative methodologies, focusing amongst other on affects and discourses. I am a member of the editorial collective of ephemera: theory and politics in organization.
