My research profile integrates and combines sociology, educational studies and healthcare with focus on sociology of health and illness, including the history and structure of the health care area.
This integrates the analysis of the healthcare professions, patients & relatives, organisations, welfare state and work conditions. I am inspired by French sociology and epistemology involving relational and practice perspectives including reflections on both theory, methods, and empirical aspects of research. With baseline in a sociological perspective I have studied: social inequality in health, relations between and within professions and how they relate to patients and relatives, education and learning processes among doctors and nurses, body, learning and materiality/technology and health capital as a form of body investment. Collaboration partners includes colleagues from national as well as international research environments and clinical and eductional environments.
