Presentation
Overall, my research revolves around the use of philosophy in organization studies. Predominately, I am interested in how philosophical concepts can be used to both challenge common sense perceptions and open up to alternative ways of understanding organization, management, leadership and entrepreneurship. In do this both in my research and my teaching practice. Currently, I am engaged in a project on sustainable entrepreneurship supported by the Velux foundation. Informed by philosophical concepts, I explore the challenges that entrepreneurs who commit to a sustainable agenda face in practice, but also the strategies they use to cope with these challenges. On this basis, I explore alternative conceptualizations, articulations and experiences of sustainable entrepreneurship.
