Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Uummannaq, I explore how older adults live with the uncertainty of old age (and life in general). I'm concerned with how older adults navigate in the health care system, when they become ill, but also how older adults negotiate one's position in the community as life changes in old age.
My ph.d.-project is a part of the research- and developement project, AgeArc. The project was funded by Velux-Foundation and Fonden Ensomme Gamle Værn (the EGV-Foundation).
