Mirjam Werner holds an MSc in cultural anthropology from the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and a PhD in political science from the University of Leeds (UK). Currently, she holds a position as Assistant Professor in the Business-Society Management Department at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). Mirjam Werner will be our guest from November 4^th to November 8^th.

Her research interests include social movements and political activism, framing and sensemaking, organizational change, organizational identity and culture, and emotions. Two of her current research projects concern social movements as motors of bottom-up change within organizational contexts, on the one hand, and exploring the performative nature of emotions in social interaction (what do emotions do?), both intentionally and unintentionally, on the other. Her research has been published in leading journals of the field, such as the Academy of Management Annals and Organization Studies.
