Personal profile

Primary fields of research

Micro-sociology, Science and Technology Studies (STS), medical sociology and health. 
 
My research interests especially cover issues related to (a) the social consequences of the technoscientific change of modern society; (b) antimicrobial resistance; (c) disability and social exclusion problematics.
 
In the last years, I worked as a postdoc on a project exploring social inclusion barriers among adolescents with hearing loss in a micro-sociological perspective. The focus was on communicative behaviour in small-scale group life.  

Current research

My latest research explores the inclusion/exclusion of adolescents with hearing loss in school environments focusing on small-scale group participation. My research forms part of a larger research project "How do we belong together?" (Inge Kryger Pedersen PI, financed by the Velux Foundation). In collaboration with the Danish Centre for Social Scientific Research, we examine why children, young people, and adults with hearing loss often and persistently encounter barriers to social participation and preventive social mechanisms.
