Josephine Rekers
Josephine is a post-doctoral researcher at CIRCLE and is particularly interested in the reception and adoption of innovations. More specifically, her work is concerned with the actors, institutions and social structures that play a key role in assessing and validating novelties. She currently investigates these themes in the context of health care systems under the Nordic research project “Organisational Change for Innovation and Institutional Entrepreneurship in Health-Care Systems (ICIS)”.
She holds a PhD from the Department of Geography at the University of Toronto, Canada (2010). In her thesis “Considering Adoption: How are Innovations Validated in Cultural and Science-based Industries?” she used comparative case studies in theatre and pharmaceutical vaccines to investigate the way in which the market development process is structured for different types of knowledge-intensive industries.
