About
My interests include topics within social policy and the conditions for social work practice in the neoliberal society. I have also an interest in how the organizational contexts affect the services being given. The philosopher Axel Honneth and his theory of recognition is an important theoretical inspiration.
I am a trained social worker and have practiced as this in the social security services in the municipality of Trondheim and at the office for social housing.
