Britt-Sophie Hunt
About
I began my PhD studies in September 2021 and completed them in January 2026 after successfully defending my thesis titled "Laying the Foundations for Social Procurement in Norway, Strengthening Pathways for Social Enterprises".
Supervision: Luitzen de Boer and Dag Håkon Haneberg
My research uses a qualitative approach for studies on social entrepreneurship, welfare provision and social procurement.
Theoretically, my work is anchored in organisation theory, using key concepts like institutional logics, isomorphism, and hybridity.
Earlier studies include a master's in Globalisation, Transnationalism and Culture (NTNU), and a bachelor's in Social Anthropology (Brunel University, London)
