Personal profile
Presentation
In my research I focus on the study of professions, professionalism, and expert cultures in work and education. My theoretical approach is informed by practice theory and classical pragmatism.
Research and development areas
Som forskningsleder ved Program for professionspolicy undersøger jeg karakteristika og kontingenser samt institutionelle og politiske rammevilkår i tilknytning til opgaven med professionsuddannelse og professionsrettet forskning og udvikling.
Igangværende forskningsområder er professionshøjskolesektorens varetagelse af forskning relateret til videregående uddannelser og praksisnære og anvendelsesorienterede forsknings- og udviklingsaktiviteter. Jeg beskæftiger mig med videngrundlag, hvordan sektoren forsker og bør forske.
