I am an anthropologist and PhD student at the Department of Public Health.
In my research, I am interested in the relationship between body, weight and communication – and in particular how obesity as a medical condition is experienced and communicated in the healthcare system.
In my PhD project, I explore how obesity-related health and disease are communicated between health professionals and patients in general practice. This with the overall aim to develop communication tools to strengthen non-stigmatising communication on obesity in General Practice.
My methodological approach is rooted in anthropology, where I use fieldwork, participant observation, individual and group interviews as well as co-creative and visual methods.
