    Research interests

    Jeg er antropolog men arbejder tværfagligt, særligt med inspiration fra sociologi og medicin. Jeg anvender såvel kvalitative metoder (etnografi, deltagerobservation, interviews) som kvantitative metoder (spørgeskemaer og randomiserede interventionsstudier). Jeg arbejder desuden med at kombinere kunst og videnskab for at få bredt viden ud til et bredere publikum. 

    Min forskning centrerer sig om overdiagnostik, social ulighed i sundhed, aldring, psykisk sygdom, brugerinddragelse, sygdomsnarrativer, diagnostiske processer, sundhed i en velfærdsstat, det primære sundhedsvæsen og bæredygtighed i sundhedsvæsenet.
