My professional experience is solely connected to media, communication and politics. Both in my personal and professional life.
In my career I have - apart from three months work in the Danish Central Administration - taught/lectured (at Copenhagen University), worked free-lance for radio and television (mostly DR, Danish Radio and Broadcasting Company) and worked as a journalist and an editor (political, European and as Editor in Chief). I have also contributed to several books (on EU, International Relations Theory, Media, Gender, the UK) and articles for various magazines and newspapers at the same time as holding down my permanent jobs.
My areas of expertise is: US politics, European politics (especially defense, security, EU-treaties and negociations, public participation, identity and souvereignty) British politics, French politics, Danish politics, international politics, gender, family and children (I have four...).
