Research

Presently I ́m researching the conditions of Greenland’s welfare society. It includes a focus on social policy, poverty, gender, disability, volunteer social work, the profession and homelessness. Years of researching Greenland's social system has led to published work within the sociological history of Greenland, the welfare system, social
work, poverty, and social policy under arctic conditions.

On a community- and governmental level, we’re researching social policy and developing methodologies on how to tackle homelessness and increase inclusion. These activities have led to a large professional network and a seat in different professional councils.

Daily, I’m heading Ilisimatusarfik’s Centre for Arctic Welfare, together with Dr. Tenna Jensen, teaching and supervising BA-, MA-, and PhD-projects
