Personal profile
Research
My research interests concerns sustenance problems and economic vulnerability. One area involves the questions of what implications economic vulnerability may have in a society characterized by consumption. Another area is focused on how the welfare state relates to economic vulnerability and how notions of what is a reasonable standard of living are created and manifested. In a third area, I study how society’s financialization affects the individual, in particular groups with limited financial resources. I am also involved in research concerning how the role of the citizen changes in relation to an increased freedom of choice regarding welfare services.
Teaching
I am mainly involved in the fifth, sixth and seventh semesters of the BSc in Social work programme, including supervising and examining bachelor’s theses. I am also involved in the master's programme and have been course director for the course Social Work with Poverty and Maintenance Problems.
