About
Social worker with a master's degree in Social Work and PhD in Social Work and Social Policy. My teaching experience and research interest are related to the topics of social movements, homelessness, community work, social housing, critical pedagogy, action research, self-organization, participation and supervision. I am also particularly interested in social work practise from an international perspective, and in the face of new challenges such as pandemics, protest movements and changes in the welfare state. I teach the courses Work, Health and Housing (SOS2130), Placement Training in Social Work (SOS1160), Social Work Theories (SSA4000) and Action Research and Practice Research (SP9250).

Why is user participation so difficult to attain in health and welfare services? The proposed project aims to develop knowledge about challenges and conditions for participation for groups of service users that experience special barriers to participation.
