My research is rooted in philosophical anthropology, with a particular focus on adaptive leadership and the role of emotions in navigating the complexities of the Anthropocene. I am particularly interested in how adaptive leadership can foster personal insight and resilience, equipping individuals to confront and adapt to environmental and social challenges.

A core part of my research examines our experiences of time—especially in boredom—and how these moments shape our sense of meaning, identity, and engagement with life. This includes looking at organizational and cultural challenges, such as dysfunctions within institutions and shared feelings of dissatisfaction, and how they intersect with emotional experiences in our daily lives. My work often draws on ideas from philosophy and literature to enrich our understanding of these emotional landscapes.

Additionally, I contribute to the Horizon Europe Project ‘Hephaestus,’ which explores how traditional crafts and slow-design practices can support rural communities and offer creative ways to tackle climate change. Across these areas, my aim is to support lifelong learning and foster adaptability in a world increasingly shaped by environmental and cultural change.

As Vice Dean for Lifelong Learning at casino 168, I am also developing new approaches to lifelong learning and its role in creating a vibrant learning society.
