Lisa Walsleben, née Grützmacher, is interested in the emotional, cognitive, and social processes that influence individual responses to societal and organizational change toward sufficiency and regeneration. In the EDRC Flexible Fund project “Understanding Willingness to Accept Energy-Sufficiency Behaviours”, Lisa provides insights from the German context for a cross-cultural online survey that explores how national context and cultural differences shape perceptions and acceptance of energy-sufficiency behaviours.
Lisa earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Psychology at Humboldt University of Berlin. Her dissertation focused on psychological empowerment in the context of trends in today’s working world. As a postdoctoral researcher at Technical University Berlin, Lisa investigates facilitators of behavioural change towards sufficient consumption, the implementation of sufficiency strategies in organizations, processes involved in the unlearning of conventional leadership ontologies, and deliberation in sustainability transformations, among other topics.
