Marie Sandberg’s research focuses on ethnographies on border practices and experiences of borders in everyday life Europe. From 2017 she is the PI of the Helping Hands. Research Network on the Everyday Border Work of European Citizens funded by the Danish Research Council 2017-2019 (DFF bevilling – 6107-00111, co-PI is Dorte J. Andersen, SDU). Among her publications is the book The Border Multiple: The Practicing of Borders between Public Policy and Everyday Life in a Re-scaling Europe (edited together with Dorte J. Andersen & Martin Klatt, 2012, Ashgate Border Regions Series). In the research project ‘Mobility across borders’ special emphasis was put on the ongoing ‘borderwork’ enacted by Polish circular migrants in the Copenhagen area. Marie Sandberg earned her PhD 2009 at the University of Copenhagen, Ethnology, with the thesis The Present/Absent Border. Europeanisation Processes in a Twin Town on the German-Polish Border. Based on ethnographic fieldwork the thesis depicts how young German and Polish high-school pupils experience living in a European cross-border region. Since 2003 Marie Sandberg has been teaching courses in Ethnology and of the Master of Applied Cultural Analysis programme on ethnographic methodologies and cultural analytical approaches at the University of Copenhagen.

Marie Sandberg is editor of Ethnologia Europaea - Journal of European Ethnology, co-edited with Prof. Monique Scheer, Karl-Eberhards Universität Tübingen. Former co-editor: Prof. Regina F. Bendix, Göttingen University.

Further, she is part of the steering group of Centre for Advanced Migration Studies (AMIS), UCPH, board member of The International Society of Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF) and Erasmus coordinator of Ethnology, Saxo Institute, UCPH.
