MY BOOK, The Power of Citizens and Professionals, IS NOW PUBLISHED AS PAPERBACK.

I am currently engaged in two research fields that reflect my longstanding interest in power dynamics in organizations and identity formations. I am part of the management group of the Danish Power Inquiry (Magtudredningen) and also involved in a large qualitative study on career trajectories, gender, and performance metrics in academia.

I am also a specialist in qualitative methods, about which I have published extensively. This includes the book Qualitative Analysis: Eight Approaches for the Social Sciences (SAGE, 2020) (read more here).

Current Research Projects

As part of the Danish Power Inquiry, I have initiated the first qualitative phase of a study examining the state of freedom of expression at Danish universities and university colleges. My research on career trajectories, performance metrics, and gender dynamics, conducted with Professor Margaretha Järvinen, includes a comprehensive analysis of interviews with approximately 200 professors and associate professors from social science departments in Denmark. This work has resulted in four articles in Sociology (2025), Work, Employment & Society (2024), Current Sociology (2024), and Gender and Education (2024).

External Roles

I chair the CBS Professors’ Association and serve as a board member at the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) and the Danish Center for Social Science Research (VIVE).
