Education:
Cand.mag. In Learning and Innovation change from Aalborg University. 

Field of work: 
Currently I am working on my PhD-project on health socialization in primary and lower secondary school (folkeskolen) pubils in 5th, 6th and 9th grasde. The aim of the projects is to attain a broader insight into how different classes create health norms, and how these norms affects the pupils experience of health.

Earlier I have worked with evalutation The Combined Out-of-school Education (KUU), which from the summer of 2019 is abandoned and replaced by The Improving Basic Education (FGU). In association with the Danish Ministry of Education and Epinion I have composed two catalogues of inspiration to professionele experts that is going to work on the FGU. 

In my professional life I am eager to research social and cultural aspects of children and young people’s understanding of health and with my research I wish to decrease inequality in health. 

Field of research:
Children and young people, inequality in health, school and learning, cultural and social health, mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative analysis) and bodies.
