Personal profile

Research profile

My Ph.D.-project was part of the research center, The Culture of Grief, and supervised by Anders Petersen and Svend Brinkmann. With the forthcoming diagnostic classification of Prolonged Grief Disorder as my starting point, I researched the societal meaning of death and its socio-cultural transformation. Via ethnographic fieldwork, that I called gonzo sociology, I discussed how grief now exists in an ongoing tension-filled fight for the rights to define what grief is, whether or not it could be seen as a disease and if so how it should be treated.

I used grief and the struggle concerning it, to try and understand how much space it is given in contemporary society, where things like control, acceleration and efficiency are the norm.
