LATEST RESEARCH ON MEN’S NETWORKING IN ACADEMIA Work, Employment & Society GENDERED SERVICE WORK IN ACADEMIA: Current Sociology

MY BOOK, The Power of citizens and professionals, IS NOW PUBLISHED AS PAPERBACK.

I am a Professor of sociology at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) and have a background in anthropology (MA) and sociology (PhD) from the University of Copenhagen. My research specialization is identities in organizations. 

Besides focusing on identity negotiations in organizations, I am qualified in the research fields of career, gender and network in academia, sociology of professions and power as well as in the research fields of qualitative methodology and analysis. Recently, I have completed a research project on negotiation of organizational identities in homeless shelters. Results from this recent study has been published in British Journal of Sociology (2019), Journal of Classical Sociology and in Symbolic Interaction (2020). The project was funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. 

Currently I am part of the management team of the Danish Power Inquiery (click at  Magtudredningen2). My other current research project concerns career, network and gender in academia, which I conduct together with prof. Margaretha Järvinen. We have just completed the first round of interview with 200 associate professors and professors and have begun the analytical work. The first article has just been published (see link above).

I serve on the boards of The Independent Research Fund Denmark and VIVE and are chairing The Professor’s Association at CBS.
