I have since the beginning of my career had an interest in issues of (socio-) legal theory and gender and law, which has led me to work in many different fields of law and social science (labour law, European law, Nordic law, indigenous law and traditional knowledge, philosophy of law, religion and law, Chinese legal culture and German legal culture). I have lived and worked over longer and shorter periods in different parts of the world (childhood in Western Germany, Jean Monnet Scholarship at EUI in Florence, projects in Africa, a decade in Greenland from 1995-2006, cooperation for about 5 years in the Middle East and lately since 2009 work on China). I have had professorships in and related to Greenland (1995-2006) in Nuuk and in Copenhagen and guest professorships at Tromsø and Lund Universities. From 2016 I was involved in cooperative applications, seminars and research on issues of solidarity in different perspectives which in 2020 led to the publication of a book “Transnational Solidarity. Concept, Challenges and Opportunities” (CUP) with colleagues Helle Krunke, CECS and Ian Manners, Faculty of Social Sciences, KU.
Primary fields of research
Since 2008 my research has focused on legal culture and legal pluralism - especially on changes of legal cultures. From 2012 and onwards I have focused on Chinese legal culture both in teaching and research. Presently I also work on German legal cultures.
