I am an associate professor and senior lecturer in ethnology. Since 2022, I have been the Head of the Department of Cultural Sciences. As a lecturer, I teach at all levels - from the undergraduate programme in ethnology to the master's programme in applied cultural studies and by supervising doctoral students. Important for me as a teacher is to visualise how power works at the individual and societal level in different cultural contexts. The same interest has been reflected in my research where the focus has been on the impact of power orders on people's lives. More specifically, the research has been about sexual violence, healthcare encounters, children's health, age and aging, and working life in digital cultures. I see the role of head of department as both challenging and interesting, not least because of the insight it provides into the university organisation as a whole. Central to the department's work are issues such as sustainable work environment, more visible research and inclusive teaching.
