PhD candidate ved Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism. My PhD project focusses on discretionary decision-making in child protection adjudications. Through analysing judgments regarding care orders for newborn children I investigate how decisions are made and justified, and discuss implications for equal treatment and discretion.
Moderator for Barnevernfrokost, an open webinar series aimed at professionals in the child protection systems and students.
