Teaching

Jeg har erfaring med at undervise i kvalitative metoder, herunder interview, vignetter og observationer og dyrker pt. rapid ethnography som metode. Har tillige erfaring med undervisning i governance og institutionelle perspektiver, bl.a. institutionelle logikker, styring, nudging og proffessionsteori, og som gammel komparativist også undervisning i velfærdsstatsperspektiver, herunder velfærdsmix, og i det meste der teoretisk eller empirisk omhandler 'social care', fx. reformer i ældrepleje eller familiepolitik i europæisk perspektiv etc.
