Field of work

Anette Fagertun is a social anthropologist with a PhD from University of Bergen, 2009, and Professor of Social Science at the Centre for Care Research west and Department of welfare and participation, FHS, HVL. Fagertun primarily works within the ethnographic field of Europe and Norway, but also has extensive research experience from Southeast Asia, Indonesia.

Fagertun’s research interests are broad and include labor, gender and class; neoliberalism and capitalism; social justice and social inequality; migration and diversity; welfare state and social policy; municipal healthcare services; the care crisis; and women's health.

From 2019 to 2027 Fagertun is project manager (PM) for a large institutional strategic research project funded by the RCN, «The politics of a changing institutional ecology: coordinating and prioritizing healthcare and welfare services in the municipal landscape» (ISP). The project investigates services coordination in a comparative perspective, is based in the municipal health and care services and aims to identify mechanisms that promote or impede services interaction. From 2024-2027 I am PI of a workpackage in the KLAR project - Women's health, menopause and working life- where we through interviews with midlife women and health personnel  as well as policy analysis explore interconnections between menopause and work life participation.
