Personal profile

Research Interests

I am currently working on my PhD project in which I explore the lived experience of people who have recently been granted refugee status in Denmark. In my project, I follow the pathways of 8 refugees in the initial period after settling down in a Danish municipality drawing on in-depth interviews and participant observations of their encounters with caseworkers responsible for their so-called integration programme. The aim is to explore what they consider to be important for their overall well-being in this period of time and how they experience the Danish public system's attempt to meet their diverse needs. Moreover, I interview caseworkers in order to investigate the ways in which the Danish public system understand, detect, consider, and follow up on mental health needs of newly arrived refugees.

 

The project is funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark. Grant ID: 10.46540/3099-00066B
