Senior lecturer, Doctor of Philosophy at the faculty of Social Sciences in Social work
My research interests include issues of power, gap-mending, service user influence, change management, and agency for organizations and individual organizational representatives. My dissertation is called "Staged inclusion. Community as a goal and challenge in the social work education", and focuses on gap-mending within the education of social workers.
I am also involved in developing service user participation and gap-mending in the national development of Housing First – an initiative for collaboration between researchers, practitioners and service user representatives. Since 2022, I am active in a FORTE-funded project called RECO - Resilient communities through sustainable welfare transformation.
I have also initiated an international network that I currently coordinate together with my British colleague Helen Casey, called PowerUs. PowerUs brings together different actors in order to exchange and develop joint actions regarding serviceuser participation and experience-based knowledge in education and research.
Since 2005 I have been involved in the so called Mobilisation course - a course that is given to social work students and students recruited in service user organisations. You can read more about the course here.
