I find health research as an interesting and important site for doing interdisciplinary research, both within the traditional divide into fields of study (SSH, Medicine, Technology) and different ‘turns’, especially in SSH and STS research. Out of those, I have a special interest in affect and materiality, both related to Art, Health and Humanities. My background is in ethnomethodology from where I take an interest in studying the concreteness of practices (captured in video footage and analysed with multimodal interaction analysis). Video analysis has been a central theme in my collaboration with AAU colleagues from Cultural Psychology and Art & Humanities. My longest external collaboration partner has been a residence for people with acquired brain injury that also functions as a Living Lab. I have been following the centre since the very first plans about it. My research interest has been to study the residents’ use of their communicative resources.
