We are living through a time of contested certainties. This also applies to societal imaginaries of the economy. Whereas the economy once appeared to be calculable, controllable and predictable, economic practices and paradigms are now revealed to be inherently uncertain and fragile. 

Against this backdrop, a central task for the social sciences is to understand the role of economic knowledge in processes of societal transformation. Alongside the assessment of standard economic approaches, the focus is on engaging with the wealth of existing and potential economies in theory and practice: for example, in the form of new organisational and production models, or of future-fut visions for economic activity and corresponding pathways. 

Through my work in research, teaching and knowledge transfer, I help to ensure that economic knowledge keeps pace with the upheavals of the present day.
