Kort præsentation

Fokusområder: kultur, design, kunst, innovation, urbanisering med særlig interesse i;

• Grundlæggende teoretiske spørgsmål: ontologier, teorier, epistemologier og metode, med fokus på kreativitet.

• Praksisformer, der bringer forskning i participatorisk samarbejde med partnere uden for institutionen; design management, arkitektur og urbanisering, innovation og kreative industrier.

Jeg inddrager en bred erfaring som projektleder, kurator, kritiker, journalist, manager, innovator, konsulent og kulturaktivitist i min forskning og har ofte organiseret min undervisning med eksterne partnere, fra civile aktivister som Trampolinhuset over det kommercielle tv-selskab TV3 til onlineundervisning på James Cook University, Australien.
