Cindie Aaen Maagaard is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, specializing in Narratology, narrative medicine, and organizational communication. Her research interests span a broad range of narrative studies with a focus on how narratives are utilized in organizational and institutional contexts, particularly in medical settings. She employs theoretical and analytical backgrounds, developed from investigations into literary narrative qualitative methods, to study narratives used in practice. This study encompasses the construction of identity and communication between health professionals and patients, and how narratives can aid in understanding organizational changes. Her specialization in narrative medicine was further bolstered by participation in the Narrative Intensive Summer Program at Ohio State University in 2016, leading to collaborative investigations in an Intensive Care Unit. These projects include writing patient diaries to alleviate post-intensive care trauma and examining narrative aspects of electronic patient records in general practice. She teaches communication, narratives, and writing at both the BA and MA levels across various degree programs.
