Project descriptions
Co-production of care and recovery
In this research project, Ditte Andersen (PI) and Sine Kirkegaard (post doc) outline a micro-sociology of cross-sectoral caring arrangements.
Project: SPOR
’SPOR – Children’s development and wellbeing throughout life’ is an extensive longitudinal study investigating how circumstances in early childhood affect welfare and wellbeing in the longer run. It also looks at when the well-known gaps in children’s abilities appear, which prove so important in school and later in life
PRIME
Prioritization in Personalized Medicine. How is access to treatment delineated when the costs of new medicine challenge public healthcare budgets? And how may we understand the notion of equal access when new, costly therapies increasingly are targeted individual traits like the genetic profile? These questions constitute the starting point for the research project Universal Access, Differentiated Care: Personalized Medicine in the Danish Welfare State, which is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
Social investments as ethos and practice at the welfare state frontline
In this research project, we investigate political, ethical and practical consequences of social investment rationales in welfare services for marginalized citizens.
Exploring Homelessness Among Young Care Leavers (HACL)
Young people who have been placed in out-of-home care during their upbringing are overrepresented among homeless youth. This is the case in the Nordic countries as well as globally. Although research has long highlighted the connection between out-of-home care experience and homelessness, there is limited qualitative understanding of this connection within a Nordic context. The aim of this project is to investigate the intersection between leaving out-of-home care and homelessness and emphasise questions such as: what challenges are faced, which support is needed and the experienced consequences of homelessness.
