Research areas

I am Associate Professor of Applied Philosophy and Theoretical Psychology at the Department of Psychology (90%) and Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics (10%). I am also a Senior Fellow at the Danish Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS).

My research has three main strands: (1) I study how the philosophical tradition of phenomenology has influenced approaches to research in the psychological, social, and health sciences, with a focus on psychiatry; (1) I develop empirical qualitative methods that integrate philosophical approaches to phenomenology with various methods of data generation and analysis; and (3) I carry out empirical studies of complex illness conditions, with a focus on depression and mood disorders.

Before joining SDU, I received my Ph.D. from the University of South Florida in 2016. After my Ph.D., I was an Izaak Walton Killam Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at Dalhousie University, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy at University of Oxford, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Kent State University.
