Abstract (from the PhD proposal):

My research is focussed around the following research question: Why do employees in Multi Disciplinary Working (MDW) sometimes misunderstand each other (and themselves) in situations where there are diverse approaches to formations of meanings? – This will be researched in an intersection between the situated meeting of the different professional identities and the employees' life histories set in relation to the national settings (e.g. the welfare model, neoliberal influences, laws and circulars). The PhD dissertation will generate general insight for dealing with misunderstandings and conflicts in MDW in the area of Social Care. The PhD dissertation will generate general insight for dealing with misunderstandings and conflicts in MDW in the area of Social Care, with reflections on the area of Health Care. Furthermore will the conclusions putted into perspective for the areas of Educations, Business and Social Entrepreneurship. But the main fieldwork will be undertaken at a Danish child and youth protective service in the area of social care.

Furthermore, there will be investigations on how the concept of ‘role’ is used in relation to these kinds of situations. In addition, it will be tested out how two other concepts (‘positioning’ from discourse psychology and ‘plurality’ from Hannah Arendt's writings) can complement the concept of ‘role'.

The outcome of the research in Denmark will be contrasted with the outcome of a smaller fieldwork study with similar MDW in England, which will lead to some reflections on the work procedures in the two countries, particularly in interactions with diverse approaches to formations of meanings.
