Stefanie Reissner is Professor of Organization Studies at Durham University Business School, UK. The overarching theme of her research is an interest in how social actors make sense of their experiences in organizations and how they talk about these experiences through language and storytelling, which she has examined in the context of organizational change, identity formation and flexible working practices.

Stefanie has published in highly esteemed academic outlets, including British Journal of Management; Work, Employment & Society; Public Administration; Studies in Higher Education; European Management Review; International Journal of Human Resource Management; and Culture & Organization.
