Short presentation

I am a social anthropologist working at the intersections of education, science and governance. At the heart of my research lies an interest in how educational institutions regulate the way people and individuals act and think.

My work combines ethnographic and historical approaches to shed light on the consequences of technological, cultural and socio-material organizations of education, teaching, and learning.

In my current research, I focus on PhD education in the natural and health sciences in light of the internationalization of universities. I am interested in how different research traditions and cultural norms influence the trajectories and experiences of PhD education and supervision. Read more.

In my research project "Reinventing Research-Based Education in the University," I explored the relationship between research and teaching in Danish higher education since the 1990s and its transformations in response to recent organizational and technological changes. Learn more about this here.

I teach courses in university pedagogy, supervision, doctoral supervision and research-based teaching. My teaching experience also includes qualitative methods, organization and management, sociological approaches to communication, and science and technology studies (STS). I am happy to take on supervision within these fields.

I currently serve as a board member of the Danish Network for Educational Development in Higher Education and member of the University of Copenhagen One Planet board, where I co-coordinate the work group on Sustainability in teaching and education.
