Moments of Misalignment
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…
There is nothing beautiful or life-affirming in it
Narrative methods have been shown to help people with cancer to create meaning, find hope and restore a sense of coherence in life. Likewise, the combination of rehabilitation and palliative care for people with life-threatening illness is receiving increasing interest and is generally perceived as beneficial for patients. Four narrative courses combining rehabilitation and palliative care approaches for people who have or have had cancer were ca…

Drawing on the idea of hospice philosophy as p…
Mapping and comparison of palliative care nationally and across nations

A process of identification and ranking of the development of palliative care and end-of-life care both in Europe and globally has gained momentum over the last 10 years. Overall, Denmark (DK) has obtained relatively low scores in comparative studies. The development of palliative care as a special area of experti…
Det sunde væsen og de syge brugere
The health service and sick users This article advocates applied social research, in particular cultural sociological analyses of welfare state policies. An example of this is the author’s own research in the con-cept of user and the meaning of that concept in the public health sector. The concept of user in the health sector is socially constructed and makes sense at the politi-cal and administrative levels, but it has little relevance to everyd…
