Fields of work
I am interested in the role of the individual in relation to - and in the context of - systemic, structural change and indeed resistance to change with regard to technological and social innovations in sustainability transitions. My studies on human behaviour in socio-technical transitions – be it consumers, employees, experts, politicians or the general public – help understanding why agents react in the way they do and how these behaviors can be transformed to improve social acceptance of new (sustainable) technologies and, thus, achieve a sustainable development.
