The unequal making of clinicians: Legitimation, participation, and cumulative disadvantage across the medical curriculum
Moments of Misalignment: In the Space and Rhythms of Cancer Rehabilitation
Cancer rehabilitation in Denmark is publicly funded and framed as a universal and ongoing element of the cancer pathway, aimed at restoring everyday functionality after diagnosis. Yet participation remains uneven, particularly among citizens marked by social vulnerability. This article examines how such inequality unfolds in practice by focusing on moments of misalignments : situations where users’ bodies call attention to themselves by not align…
The privilege to heal? Mapping patients’ unequal mobilisation of health capital in a Nordic welfare context
In the Nordic egalitarian countries, relative equality is expected in relation to individual health in-vestments and outcomes. This study explores a heterogeneous sample of patients' bodily investment strategies when illness occurs. A questionnaire was conducted with 503 patients from the Capital Region of Denmark. Using Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), the study identifies unequal and distinct patterns of bodily health capital investment.…
AI and personalized medicine in healthcare: Algorithmic normativity and practice configurations in danish healthcare education
Personalized medicine (PM) is reshaping healthcare by introducing new technologies, competencies, and normative tensions. This qualitative study explores how healthcare professionals, educators, and planners involved in a Danish master’s program in PM articulate and negotiate expectations, concerns, and interpretations of artificial intelligence (AI)’s role in future clinical practice. Drawing on 24 interviews, document analysis, and 28 h of clas…
Exploring Boundaries of Healthcare Roles: The Boundary Work of Hospital Professionals in a Community-Based Health Intervention
This article examines how hospital-based professionals establish and negotiate their roles without relying on institutional agendas and logics, representing a reconfiguration of professional boundaries through community-based participatory research. Operating outside traditional clinical settings, we examine through interviews and observations how these professionals interact with elderly residents and researchers in shaping a community-oriented …
Navigating Challenges in Shared Decision-Making in Danish Patient Care
Patient-centered care and patient choice are reshaping management practices in the Danish public healthcare sector. Patients are becoming more involved in their treatment and assuming greater control over their healthcare decisions. This transformation redefines relationships among patients, professionals, and the state. It raises important inquiries into how healthcare professionals navigate their new roles and responsibilities within this chang…
Disciplinary knowledge, pedagogy, and assessment in non-university marine engineering education – consequences for student academic success
This paper explicates the codes that prescribe and shape the marine engineer student in times of massification and high attrition rates in Danish non-university higher education. In a case study of a Danish school of marine engineering, the Bernsteinian concept of knowledge structures and Legitimation Code Theory support analysing the official curriculum along with teacher and student interviews to determine what is considered knowledge and whose…
Struggling with capital: Recovery after severe traumatic brain injury among working‐age individuals in Denmark
OBJECTIVE: This study uses capital theory to investigate survivors' investments in their bodies and the resources they accumulate during their rehabilitation trajectory, and how these factors impact their perception of recovery from their impairments. METHODS: Qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 patients of working age and their relatives, with audio recordings transcribed verbatim. Data analysis utilized an abductive approach informed …
A conceptual framework for selecting appropriate populations for public health interventions
This article suggests a conceptual framework for choice of target populations for public health interventions. In short, who should benefit? Taking the seminal work of Geoffrey Rose on “individuals at risk” versus the “whole population approach” as a point of departure, we explore later contributions. Frohlich and Potvin introduced the notion of “vulnerable populations” applying relevant social determinants as the defining selection criterion. Ot…
Academic writing strategies among Danish students with a professional background
Expectations of how theory, empirical material, and methods should be dealt with in academic writing has not always been explicitly communicated to students. Due to a heterogeneity in student populations enrolled in higher degree courses worldwide, diversity in academic writing practices has increased. This paper explores academic writing practices among a group of students with professional, vocational backgrounds and close relationships to prac…
Unequal neurorehabilitation trajectories - a longitudinal case study combining field structures with social Class-Based Capital Conversion
Inequalities in illness, service provision, and outcomes are well documented in the Nordic universal welfare state. The ways in which inequalities are produced during illness recovery trajectories remain largely unknown. Long-term brain injury rehabilitation in this context provides a window into veiled aspects of inequality and the underlying mechanisms. We examine inequality empirically by combing framing field structures with the classed abili…
Prestige Hierarchies and Relations of Dominance Among Healthcare Professionals
Reflecting on Bourdieu’s theory of symbolic power, the aim of our study was todetermine the degree to which prestige ranking follows a logic of socialrecognition that transcends health professional group boundaries. Based on aprevious cross-sectional survey, in which 605 health professionals ranked 19diseases and 17 specialties, this paper draws on data from 25 in-depthinterviews with nurses, doctors and nursing/medical students with theobjective…
How Teachers Balance Language Proficiency and Pedagogical Ideals at Universities in Indigenous and Postcolonial Societies: The Case of the University of Greenland
Based on Bourdieu’s theory of practice, this article explores pedagogical ideals and educational policies in teachers’ everyday practice in a postcolonial bilingual university setting in Greenland. Greenlandic and Danish teachers’ teaching ideals were explored during a one-year pedagogy qualifying course for assistant professors organised by the (Danish) authors in cooperation with University of Greenland. The overall pedagogical agenda placed an…
Bodies need yoga? No plastic surgery! Naturalistic versus instrumental bodies among professions in the Danish healthcare field
What characterises the similarities and differences in body investments among professions in the Danish healthcare field? This can be important when healthcare professionals relate to each other and to bodies of patients regarding differences in class, gender, age, and disease group. The study takes inspiration from Bourdieu’s sociology and the concept of health capital. We ask whether health capital can explain distinctions in the empirical data…
Medical students’ educational strategies in an environment of prestige hierarchies of specialties and diseases
Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of practice, this paper aims to understand whether and how a reproduction of the status hierarchy of medical specialties and diagnoses occurs within a medical school in a North European context as well as students’ educational strategies given the hierarchy. We report data from a cross-sectional survey conducted on a sample of Danish medical students. The 289 respondents ranked diseases and specialities, based on how …
Hysteresis - or the mismatch of expectations and possibilities among relatives in a transforming health care system
When a person experiences a severe stroke, their relatives must assume the role of partners in the rehabilitation process. Drawing on Bourdieu's field theory, we investigated the potential gap between the subjective expectations of relatives in terms of the assistance and care they can offer patients with severe brain injuries and the objective constraints of a healthcare field. Using data from observations, as well as interviews with relatives a…
Interdisciplinary Promises and Hierarchical Ambiguities in a Danish Hospital Context
The public health sector in welfare states is increasingly subject to organisational changes, particularly in hospitals, as organisations comprise coali-tions of various (healthcare) professionals. In this context, due to interprofessional competition, knowledge claims play an important role in achieving jurisdictional control. In this paper, we investigate the manifestations of and health professionals’ reactions to competing institutional disco…

The Communicability of Non-Communicable Diseases: An Overview of Sociological Contributions to Ideas of Contagion
There has been a tremendous rise in media coverage and medical research on the rapid increase of so-called non-communicable diseases. Such diseases have apparently reached epidemic proportions worldwide. In this article, I argue for the fruitfulness of investigating the communicable aspect of non-communicable diseases from a distinct sociological view of non-communicable diseases as infectious. I conduct a historical anamnesis of sociological the…
Risk factors for not completing health interventions and the potential impact on health inequalities between educational groups – a mixed method study from Denmark
This study indicates a social difference in dropout, and if dropout is to be prevented, there is a need to acknowledge factors such as organization of the intervention, lack of job flexibility, and comorbidity. If these factors are not addressed, people with low socioeconomic status will most likely have reduced opportunities for making healthy choices, in this case, completing the intervention, and this may increase health inequality
Neighbourhood renewal, participation, and social capital in deprived areas: Unintended consequences in a Nordic context
This paper addresses the use of the concept of social capital in neighbourhood renewal programmes which aim to influence social and health-related processes. Based on a social network analysis of 17 groups comprising 133 members, qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 participants to consider the kinds of patterns and connections that build up in a neighbourhood renewal project in a small, deprived neighbourhood of a provincial town in Den…
Prediabetic categorisation: The making of a new person
The increasing global prevalence of type 2 diabetes has given rise to numerous trials designed to preventing diabetes. Most of these trials focus on encouraging individuals, especially ‘high-risk’ individuals to make lifestyle changes to reduce their chance of developing diabetes. Based on group interviews with health care professionals and qualitative in-depth interviews with participants in a diabetes preventive intervention with a biomedical a…
Risk, the prediabetes diagnosis and preventive strategies: Critical insights from a qualitative study
Diagnosis constitutes a major categorisation tool in medicine. This paper adds to the paucity of knowledge about part of the work such a tool performs. It examines the ways in which diabetes epidemiology translates into attempts to prevent diabetes from occurring through screening and diagnosing, and then managing those categorised as ‘at high risk’. Using a qualitative design in the context of a small-scale Danish intervention study, the finding…
Negotiating hearing disability and hearing disabled identities
Using disability theory as a framework and social science theories of identity to strengthen the arguments, this article explores empirically how working-age adults confront the medical diagnosis of hearing impairment. For most participants hearing impairment threatens the stability of social interaction and the construction of hearing disabled identities is seen as shaped in the interaction with the hearing impaired person's surroundings. In ord…
Disciplining the audiological encounter
This article addresses the social power variations in the context of audiological rehabilitation. The empirically based study examines the everyday interaction between professional medicine and the patient when hearing aids are being provided. By the use of video recordings an analysis is conducted of the structural level of rehabilitation practice for hard-of-hearing working age people in two outpatient clinics in two different public hospitals …
