Research interests
My research lies within medical anthropology and cross-disciplinary health studies, with a particular focus on health inequities, overdiagnosis, overshadowing (underdiagnosis), medicalization, health institutions and patient experiences. I am often invited for keynote speeches on my research, eg. NCGP (Stavanger) 2022, WONCA Europe (Brussels) June 2023, EuroPrev (Porto) April 2023, KL sundhedspolitiske konference (Odense) april 2023.
