Helle Bundgaard

Associate Professor

I am currently engaged in exploring creative ethnographic writing as a path to analytical insight. The most recent outcome of this interest is the book Etnografisk tekst. Om at forstå verden gennem skrift, which I have co-written with Anna Line Dalsgaard. My passion for literary writing is further exemplified in my book Painting stories: Lives and Legacies from an Indian Crafts Village, which draws from my work over a period of 30 years with Indian traditional craft makers . In the past, my research has focused on educational issues, initially concerning ethnic minority children in Danish pre-schools and later university students.
