Cristine works in the research fields of civil society and organization studies, scrutinizing fluid forms of organization in civil society. Based on a processual-relational ontology, she explores how modes of fluid organizing succeed in collective action and what characterizes the engagement produced herein. Through a practice lens, she engages with research on partial organizations and ‘organizationality’, emphasizing the role of care and craft in fluidly organized civic engagement. Her research contributes to civil society debates on the democratic implications of fluid forms of organization. Cristine is part of the research project Civil Society in the Shadow of the State (Cistas.dk).
