Personal profile

My PhD research project is about the role of design in managing polycistic ovary syndrome in today's Denmark. It is a part of the research project 'Design as Somatic Expertise: The User’s Body and Well-Being in Design Today'.
In my previous academic career, I was a historian of Soviet and East-Central European design and decorative art.
