Vita
Iris Seidemann is an organizational scholar and Postdoctoral Researcher in the structural programme Embracing Transformation within the key subject area Organizing in Times of Crisis at Leuphana University of Lüneburg. She received her doctorate (Dr. rer. pol., summa cum laude) from the University of Hamburg in 2023. She subsequently served as co-coordinator of the transdisciplinary third-party funded project Resilience Building through Multi-Stakeholder Engagement in Anticipatory Action for Climate-Induced Disasters (REBUMAA), which focused on climate adaptation, anticipatory humanitarian action, and resilience building in West Africa. Her research combines qualitative and ethnographic approaches with a process- and practice perspective and examines tensions and paradoxes that emerge across different interfaces of transformation and crisis in organizations and interorganizational networks.
