Dr Mette Kragh-Furbo

Personal Statement

I work at the intersections of Science and Technology Studies, and the sociology of disease, health and illness. I'm interested in the relationship between science and medicine, including how biomedical knowledge gets translated into healthcare practice, and what this means for people’s everyday lives. My work explores how people make sense of their bodies drawing on a variety of different knowledges, and how they live with chronic illness, focusing on the social, practical and emotional burdens that accompany life with a chronic illness.
