Biography
I am trained as an interpretative and qualitative sociologist and have been engaging throughout my academic career in research and education into issues of governance of health and citizens’ and patients’ experiences and involvement in such practices. I am intrigued by sociological work on risk and uncertainty, medical sociology and health policy, and qualitative research methods such as ethnography, action research and discourse analysis. Currently I am exploring questions on (pandemic) preparedness and health system resilience, with a particular focus on the lived experiences and concrete practices through which such might be achieved.
