Research

My PhD project discusses three ways of creating common worlds: communicability (Hannah Arendt), demonstrability (Jacques Rancière), and affectability (Judith Butler).      

On the one hand, I am interested in political cohesion (and its opposite: political polarization), both between and within social groups. On the other hand, I am interested in exclusion, specifically how hegemonic forms of cohesion foster homogeneity through informal exclusions. 

Cooperation and dissemination

I am part of two research groups. The first is APG (Aarhus Phenomenologists), and the second is ASOG (Aarhus Social Ontology Group):

I am also part of the editorial team at the danish journal for history of ideas Slagmark.

I have been a guest researcher in 2025 at Humboldt Universitry and the research group CTB (Critical Theory Berlin): https://criticaltheoryinberlin.de/en/ 

Teaching

I am part of a team of four doing the lectures in Social and Political Philosophy. I lecture in the public realm; recognition and identity politics; gender and anti-gender ideology; and intersectional and black feminism. In these lectures I discus the ideas from thinkers such as Arendt, Habermas, Fraser, Taylor, Young, Butler, Vergès, and hooks.
