Personal profile
Research
I am professor in Health and Society and a member of the research group studying Health Promotion and Health Strategies, an interdisciplinary research environment for critical health studies at the Department of People and Tecnology. My research interests comprise the welfare state, new welfare political governance, welfare relationships between health-care professionals and users/patients, marginalized citizens, care and care work, ageing, migration and new types of citizen involvement and partnerships.
I am primarily using qualitative methods and doing ethnographic field studies but interested in mixed methods too.
Management and Cooperation
I participate in research cooperation in Nordic countries and the United Kingdom regarding implications of paradigm shifts, particularly related to old age care. I also hold the position of professor II at the University of Bergen, Department of Sociology.
Teaching
I am the head of the Master's programme in Health Promotion and I am teaching here and at the Master's programme in Health Promotion and Health Strategies in courses about conditions for health initiatives, societal perspectives on health and disease, and health promotion interventions and cooperation.
