I am a Danish ethnologist who specialise in retirement and ageing studies from an everyday life perspective, with a ph.d. about active ageing from the Centre for Healthy Ageing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen. I am engaged in the establishment of the Copenhagen Centre for Health Research in the Humanities (CoRe) at the ethnology department of the SAXO-Institute.
Retirement is one of life's important transitions, where people change their everyday life substantially, and reflect on identity, future, past, death and life. Their everyday rhythms and perspectives change. And our ways of retiring change. Today, reitrement is rarely a point in time, but rather a process.
I analyse new retirement patterns and focus on what the pension funds usually do not, such as social relationships, engagement, dwelling, everyday rhythms, identity and retirement practices.
Primary fields of research

Current research
I lead the projekt 'Senior practice - mental health late in the worklife'. Through ethnographic fieldwork in the production and finance industries we develop solutions to improve senior practices in Danish workplaces, ad create better working conitions and longer worklifes.
I also research retirement trajectories and the everyday rhythms of retirees.
