RECENT WRITING
Profile in Information
New ph.d.: Representation lacking despite many initiatives
Danish newspaper Information did a profile on my research recently. The article highlights how my work troubles the effect and premises of an array of diversity initiatives in the Danish film industry. Despite their intent, I argue, such initiatives often reproduce inequality and discriminatory logics.
Academic article
Minority Taxation (Minoritetsbeskatning)
In Danish journal Kvinder, Køn & Forskning: “…this article argues that Minority Taxation, a proposed Danish derivative of the US term Cultural Taxation (Padilla 1994), is a useful analytical tool for understanding the everyday experiences of structural inequalities in Danish academia.”
Get to know me
I am a researcher and consultant. I research the various patterns that impact equality, bias, and representation. I work with creatives and businesses in media, tech, and a range of other industries to critically engage and change the discriminatory and unfair structures that impact their organization, products, and teams.
Invite me to speak
I love speaking. I have given keynotes, talks, lectures, and workshops in Danish and English to a variety of audiences. I can be hired to speak about representation in film, bias in data, inequality in business, race, class, gender, and much much more.
