Presentation

How welfare and management are coupled within both policy documents and everyday practices of different welfare services, represent to day the overall frame for my research. I investigate the dynamics that these different couplings gives occasion to within especially three empirical fields. First in relation to the state involvement with voluntary social work, second in relation to the Danish state meta-governance of the house associations in Denmark, and thirdly in relation to the emergence of new welfare technologies, that influences the welfare service of elderly people, which challenge our idea of what welfare can be.

Primary research areas
  • Welfare management
  • Policy of voluntarism
  • Specific welfare technologies
  • Management of volunteers
  • Management of eldercare
