Signe Vikkelsø is a Professor of Science, Technology, and Organization with a background in social psychology from the University of Copenhagen and a PhD in organizational studies from Copenhagen Business School. Her research addresses topics at the intersection of science and technology studies, organization theory, and sociology of work. This includes examining how new technologies transform work practices and organizational principles, how organization theory itself has changed as a form of knowledge and field of practice, and how different goals and dilemmas are involved in organizing science and innovation. Her studies primarily employ qualitative data and methods such as organizational ethnography, interviews, archival studies, and digital methods. Signe has been the research leader or a core member of four externally funded collaborative research projects and has supervised 17 PhD students. She has substantial practical leadership experience from seven years as Head of Department and serving as Program Director, Academic Director, as well as a member of the Swedish Research Council and chairing the Psychosocial Research Committee of the Danish Cancer Society.
