welcome to elena wilhelm university development

 

I have a background in social work and have been working in education, research and strategic development at various higher education institutions for over thirty years. I am interested in how people and institutions arrive at sound decisions amidst uncertainty, conflicting objectives and scarce resources: both in individual cases and in the strategy, structure and governance of organisations.

For the past ten years, I have also served as a part-time district judge. My work in court sharpens my perspective on law, responsibility and the consequences of decisions. For me, it is a school of practical judgement.

 

Together with Margrit Schaller, I run a culture blog. There, we write in an essayistic and subjective style about films, exhibitions, literature and social developments. For me, art and culture are both a space for resonance and a source of provocation.

 

This website brings together texts from these spaces of work and thought: a workshop and an archive, a place for well-founded positions, analytical clarifications and open questions.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Elena Wilhelm
