My PhD project is an empirical study of (potential) changes of the everyday working life of Danish Public Health nurses and how these changes may affect their professional identity and/or their notion of professionalism.

The empirical material includes documents as well as ethnographical field studies (observational studies, focus group interviews and SnapLog – an experimental qualitative method) carried out in five Danish municipalities.

I am inspired by classical Actor-Network Theory (Latour and Callon), Biopolitics (Foucault) and feministic theory (Karen Barad).

While at Berkeley I will be occupied with an early process of writing (I’m going to deliver my thesis in May 2014). However, I consider a possible stay at Berkeley as a unique opportunity of discussing my project and networking with other PhD students and scholars.
