CNS is located at SDU’s Campus Kolding and headed by Klarissa Lueg and Ann Starbæk Bager. The Center was founded in 2008 by Per Krogh Hansen and was headed by Marianne Wolf Lundholt until 2019. Since then, CNS has been steadily growing, both by appointing tenured faculty and hiring junior scholars, and by expanding the national and international network of cooperating scholars. Currently, we work within the scope of organizational change and narratology.
Our work is dedicated to the UN sustainable development goals, and we focus on these research areas and goals, in particular:
Goal 4: Quality Education
Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Goal 10: Reducing Inequality
