Personal profile

Research areas

I specialize in the history of the 20th-century welfare state, with a specific emphasis on the areas of family policy and out-of-home placements. My work sheds light on the relationship between the state and citizens, particularly on how various actors and institutions serve as intermediaries between the state and citizens in practice. 

Ongoing research projects:

  1. Paternity in Denmark, c. 1900-2000, PAID, (Principal Investigator). Funded by the Inge Lehmann program from the DFF (Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond).

  2. The Danish Family Revolution: Experiences and Institutions (FREI), (co-PI). Funded by the Velux Foundations.
  3. I am part of the research project 'Politics of Insecurity' (POINS) (2023) with Professor Peter Starke as the Principal Investigator: https://portal.findresearcher.sdu.dk/da/projects/the-politics-of-insecurity-poins  

  4. I am part of the international project "Neoliberalism in the Nordics - Developing an Absent Theme" (2020-2024). See more here: https://nyliberalisminorden.se
