Biography
I'm intrigued by societies in change. My main research focus is on the praxis of seemingly mundane human work and how this work affects/is affected by a society's institutional framework. What comes to the consequences of societal change, I center my research and teaching efforts on the economic, social and environmental responsibility of corporate actors. The education of future business experts with a responsibility mindset is to me a matter of personal importance.
