Dina von Heimburg

About

My research interests are focused on wellbeing, public health and welfare, with a particular focus on social justice, social inclusion, and sustainable societal development. I am interested in the interaction between the welfare state and community development, and how the settings of everyday life, public institutions, social spaces and meeting places can contribute to the development of social sustainability.

I am particularly interested in co-creation processes that can support to center well-being for all (leaving no one behind) as a public value and mission for societal development. Relational welfare, democratic innovation, public value governance and transformation of economic systems into "wellbeing economies" are therefore key areas of interest, where I am concerned with participatory parity and processual perspectives on social change within complex adaptive systems.

I have a PhD in sociology, but am interested in a transdisciplinary approach to research and social change. My doctoral project was a public sector PhD in collaboration with Levanger municipality, where we explored kindergartens as a meeting place and platform for health promotion and inclusive democratic participation in the local community.

I have over a decade of practice working as an advisor, public health coordinator and community developer in local governments. I also have extensive experience from working within and in partnerships with NGO’s, and I have for a number of years been involved in WHO's Norwegian network of Healthy Cities and the Public Health Alliance in Trøndelag.

My ambition is to work as a boundary spanner between research, education, practice, policy and community development. I am particularly interested in participatory action research and people-powered social change for the common good. My research activity is mainly linked to WellFare – Nordic Research Center for Wellbeing and Social Sustainability. Through WellFare, I am also a member of the WHO/EURO Universal Well-being Economy working group - the New Economics Expert Group (NEEG). I am involved in several research and innovation projects that explore co-creation of conditions for wellbeing, equity and participatory parity in communities and local governments.
