"Anthropology is a science on humans and their social and cultural differences and communities" (Hastrup 2003:9)

During my studies, I have had many fields of interest but primarily focused on Medical Anthropology. In particular, I have developed an interest in organ donation and donor families.

My Master Thesis is based on data from my fieldwork at the New York Organ Donor Network and deals with the interaction between donor family and organization and how donor families try to make sense of donating organs and losing their family member in the time after the donation.
This specific interest arose when writing my Bachelors Thesis about the consequences of referring to organs as gifts, the so-called "gift rhetoric".

During my education process, I have also worked with the concept of "natural birth" and dealt with weight problems when conducting a short fieldwork on a Danish home for overweight children.
I have worked with value-based leadership, marketing, international management and HRM during my elective courses at Copenhagen Business School.
Besides from that, I have studiet alcohol abuse, medical and social technologies, trauma, motherhood, consumption, gift exchange and reciprocity, as well as modern forms of kinship.

While writing my Master Thesis, I worked as an assistant teacher on the 4th semester course "Qualitative Methods" at the Department of Anthropology in Copenhagen. I helped with designing projects and with methodological counselling.
