Research

My research examines how care, responsibility, and vulnerability are organized and enacted within health and welfare institutions. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Denmark and Inuit Nunaat, I study pregnancy care, maternal health, and welfare-state interventions shaped by institutional practices, professional reasoning, and colonial histories. Methodologically, I work with ethnographic and qualitative approaches, with attention to institutional practices, silence, uncertainty, and decolonial research ethics.

Collaborations

I am affiliated with the Greenland Center for Health Research at the Institute of Health and Nature, Ilisimatusarfik – University of Greenland. I am also an Independent Research Fund Denmark International Postdoctoral Scholar hosted at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway. These affiliations provide interdisciplinary research environments and support my ethnographic research on health, care, and welfare institutions in Denmark and Kalaallit Nunaat.
