Om mig
I am an anthropologist and teach and do research in the fields of medical anthropology, transcultural care, public health and research methods at the Division of Nursing and at the Department of Global Public Health at Karolinska Institutet. I have written a book, Feeding Desire: Fatness, Beauty and Sexuality among a Saharan People (Routledge, 2004) based on fieldwork in Niger, and co-authored numerous articles on culture and health, and, most recently, a pedagogical article.
