Werdegang

Ich bin Postdoktorand*in am Lehrstuhl für Unternehmen in der Gesellschaft an der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg.

Von 2019 bis 2023 war ich Doktorand*in am Department für Management, Gesellschaft und Kommunikation an der Copenhagen Business School. Meine Doktorarbeit untersuchte empirisch, wie selbstorganisierende Modi des Organisierens entstehen und aufrechterhalten werden können, wenn sie in etablierte organisatorischen Kontexten eingebettet sind.
Ursprünglich in den Geisteswissenschaften und in ethnografischen Methoden ausgebildet, führte mich mein MSc in Nachhaltigkeit und Management (University of Bath, UK) in das Feld der Organisations- und Managementstudien. Auf dieser Grundlage nutze ich qualitative Methodologien, um Phänomene rund um neue und alternative Formen des Organisierens sowie Mitarbeiter*innen-Aktivismus zu untersuchen.

Am Lehrstuhl für Unternehmen in der Gesellschaft engagiere ich mich auch für die Stärkung des Engagements der Leuphana Universität für die United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).

Lehrgebiete

  • New and Alternative Forms of Organizing
  • Employee Activism
  • Qualitative Research Methods

Forschungsgebiete

Meine aktuellen Forschungsinteressen konzentrieren sich auf zwei Hauptbereiche. Erstens interessiere ich mich für neue Formen des Organisierens, insbesondere selbstorganisierte Formen der Zusammenarbeit im digitalen Kontext (insbesondere Dezentrale Autonome Organisationen (DAOs)). Zweitens möchte ich meine Forschung zum Mitarbeiter*innen-Aktivismus mit einem speziellen Fokus auf interorganisationale Communities von Aktivist*innen ausweiten.

Lehrveranstaltungen

Qualitative Research Methods
Steffen Farny, Anna Stöber
This course offers students a more advanced introduction to qualitative research methods. Qualitative research is a research strategy that emphasizes large bodies of unstructured data (textual, graphical, audio, and video data) that cannot be meaningfully analyzed by formal, statistical approaches. Students will learn how to set up a qualitative research project and will be informed about different qualitative research approaches such as case study research, grounded theory, ethnography or design science. The course gives students the opportunity to learn how to construct a research question, craft a qualitative research design, collect and rigorously analyze data with the help of qualitative data analysis methodologies and procedures, as well as evaluating the quality of qualitative research.

Please make sure to carefully read through the syllabus as it entails key information about the structure of this course. Also, make sure to register for the Moodle course (tab: Onlinelehre) where you can find the lecture videos and further important course materials.

Qualitative Research Methods - Exploring Insider Social Change
Anna Stöber
This course offers students a basic introduction to qualitative research methods. In this tutorial, students come together at Leuphana and discuss the online lecture's content in more detail. The students will conduct their qualitative research projects, and we will have time to answer questions and look at published studies as examples of how to conduct qualitative research.

A primary goal of this tutorial is advancing students' research projects, which will make up 70% of the final grade. The research projects are group-based projects of about three students. The students will conduct their qualitative study and present interim results within this tutorial (30% of final grade).

Qualitative Research Methods – Tutorial 2
Anna Stöber
The course will be taught in two different modes in which the tutorials fulfill distinct tasks. When selecting a tutorial, please be aware that the tutorials differ in the thematic focus of the research projects that you will undertake. This particular tutorial will address the topic of "Employee Activism."

Mode 1 – October 16th to December 4th
Mode 1 takes place during the first half of the semester. Please note that it is of utmost importance to prepare your attendance of the tutorials. Details will be provided in the first tutorial session. Mode 1 concludes with a test of your knowledge of the course subjects covered in lectures 1 to 12.

Mode 2 – December 5th to March 15th
Mode 2 stretches throughout the second half of the semester; it kicks off with the tutorial session on December 14th and concludes with the submission of your research reports. During mode 2, you apply your knowledge of qualitative research methods by conducting your own research projects in groups. The tutorial sessions in this mode have two objectives. First, we will discuss particular topics that will help you navigate the process of your research projects. Second, we will use the tutorials to discuss your questions and give collective feedback on your emerging research projects. Be advised that hearing the feedback both on your own as well as on others’ projects is absolutely necessary to develop a research project that meets our expectations.

Please make sure to carefully read through the syllabus as it entails key information about the structure of this course.
