Lina Nagel has been a research assistant at the WIFU endowed chair of organisation and development of business families since 2020. In her dissertation, she deals with a cybernetic theory of business families, particularly with regard to conflict and communication. Since 2017 she has been working as a trainer for constructive conflict resolution through “fair fight” in schools and in adult education. She is a trained mediator and, in addition to her studies, completed certificates in peace and conflict research, organisational theory and research, and biography work. She also worked as a systemic coach for students and was a member of the Constellation Hub for systemic constellation work in science. Lina Nagel completed her bachelor’s degree in media and educational science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, followed by studying abroad in Taiwan. During her subsequent master’s degree in ethics and organization at the Witten/Herdecke University, she was funded by the “Studenstiftung des deutschen Volkes” (the German Academic Scholarship Foundation). She wrote her master’s thesis on a cybernetic-systemic understanding of conflict based on Gregory Bateson’s epistemology.
