Welcome to our community: How do you define PEACE?

Peace in a society requires sensible rules and norms of behavior, that the people live by. Violence is generally not accepted and at least kept at a minimum by sensible education, communication and peaceful values.

How did you find this community?

Through Jan Öberg's page on Facebook.

Do you have any professional experience in the field of peace-research? peace-studies? peace-practice?

I am a sociologist of education. I have worked as a research assistent in different areas and I have taught student sociology as a science for years. When you do your best to act responsibly and dedicated – no matter what area you are working in – you reduce violence and suffering in society. This idea is very much inspired by Wittgenstein’s concept of ethics.

Are you at all familiar with concepts of Nonviolence and Conflict Transformation?

I am familiar with some of Johan Galtungs work and Gandhi’s and the American Civil Rights movements inspirational ideas and practice.

What are your primary conceptual interests and concerns

Sociology of Power, Politics and Education – And Epistemology of Science

Languages

Danish, English, French and German.

Before this job I have worked as a research assistent at University of Southern Denmark and at Aalborg University – research in ethnicity & migration, medical sociology and labour market.

I graduated as a sociologist – Cand. Scient. Soc. – in 2000. I have learnt sociology by studying Pierre Bourdieus work for almost twenty years now.
