Biography
CBS Executive
Presentation
My research attends to the organizational, practical, and ethical implications of recent transformations of the public sector - and in particular to the assumptions and constitutive effects of quality and safety reform programmes in the healthcare sector. I attained my PhD degree from Department of Organization (CBS) in 2013. The dissertation Failsafe Organizing? A Pragmatic Stance on Patient Safety is an inquiry into the international patient safety programme and its faith in the possibility of creating failsafe organizations through system-improvements. In my current research project (supported by the Danish Cancer Society) I investigate the introduction of clinical pathways in cancer treatment with specific attention to possible reconfigurations of clinical practice, medical reasoning, and the office of medicine. I have a background in Philosophy and Social Science from Roskilde University.
