Profile Description

Background and Introduction 

Phd. In Law & Philosophy 

Doctor-degree in Philosophy (Biopolitics, Ethics and Art).  

Current position: External Lecturer 

My work combines political philosophy, organizational studies, and social innovation. I am particularly interested in how technological governance, digital control, and acceleration transform work, learning, and organizational life, as well as how climate philosophy challenges established ideas of governance, responsibility, and education. Across these fields, I draw on thinkers such as Foucault, Arendt, Agamben, Latour, Deleuze and Rosa. I have more than twenty years of experience teaching and supervising within business humanities and philosophy, including courses on biopolitics, modern work life, ethics, and social innovation. In addition, I have done extensive research in the relation between Literature, Art, Philosophy and Leaning. Research and publication in literature, essays and critical thinking.
