My main research interests are in critical, creative and psychosocial approaches to cultures and experiences of embodiment, health, illness, ageing and death. This co-exists with my interest in developing and implementing new qualitative methods for research. A third interest is in conditions for professional relational work and ways to encourage reflective practice for professionals. In my work I aim to bridge across the disciplinary divides between humanities, social and healthcare sciences.

My PhD thesis (2006) concerned a textual mapping and archiving of the breast as a cultural and psychoanalytical theoretical trope. Since then, my doctoral research fed into the design of a longitudinal study on American and Norwegian women´s embodied experiences of breast cancer, loss of breast and reconstruction including an intervention with expressive writing as a means to work through traumatic aspects of this illness (2012-2015). For this study, I also designed a creative writing intervention for women with breast cancer, The Breast Biography. In 2016, my PhD thesis became the inspiration for an arts collaboration project, aiming to articulate tacit dimensions of breasted experience through visual art, writing and music - a Songbook of the Breast.

Since 2013, I have been participating in a methodology project on developing the Visual Matrix as a new psychosocial approach to investigating aspects of experience that may be difficult to articulate discursively, working alongside British and Scandinavian colleagues (see publications).

A recent strand of research involves various aspects of professional-relational work (2016-). My research on professional relations includes developing a depth-hermeneutic group-based approach to inspire and assist professionals' reflective work; supervision of a PhD-candidate in a study on death and dying in the multi-culturally staffed care home; as well as my own post-doctoral project on psychosocial conditions for care in the fast-track breast cancer trajectory.

In 2018, I received a Young Outstanding Researcher award from the University of Stavanger.

I'm a member of the Professional Relations in Welfare Professions research group and Network for Gender Research at the University of Stavanger, a founding member of the Association for Psychosocial Studies, Stavanger Breast Cancer Research Group at Stavanger University Hospital, Death: Emotions, Relations & Constructions (DERC). I am also an associate member of the research group Society, Health & Power (SHEP) at the Department of Health Sciences, Institute of Health & Society, University of Oslo. Since 2015, I have been a member of the Executive Committee in the International Research Group for Psycho-Societal Analysis.
