About Christoph Haug

Christoph is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sociology and Work Science. He is leading the MeetWell research project which studies how we experience our meetings at work through a national survey. He is also part of the project "Meeting and Community in the post digital era". He is also the coordinator of the department's research group on "Digital Sociology and Digital Methods".

Christoph wrote his doctoral thesis about “Discursive Decision-making in Meetings of the Global Justice Movement: Cultures and Practices” at the Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB) and at Freie Universität Berlin (2010) and then accepted a post-doc position at the Gothenburg Centre of Globalization and Development (GCGD) to study “the politics of the poor” in and around South African shack settlements. He also collaborated with Håkan Thörn, Maj-Lis Follér and Beniamin Knutsson in a Sida-funded project entitled “Governing AIDS through aid to civil society: Global solutions meet local problems in Sub-Saharan Africa”. He then was a Marie-Curie research fellow at the Gothenburg Research Institute (GRI) and the Département de Communication, Université de Montréal where he studied inter-organizational collaboration in face-to-face meetings. In 2017 he initiated a transdisciplinary conference series, The Meeting Science Symposium. 2022-2024, he was part of the project "ImPro-Hym: Inclusive and Productive Hybrid Work Meetings".
