Biography

Katrine Syppli Kohl's research focuses on the encounters of vulnerable populations and the actors within the Danish welfare state. Her main expertise lies at the intersection of frontline research and refugee studies. She has worked on issues related to disabilities, substance abuse, and vulnerable youth. Methodologically, her profile is qualitative, incorporating elements from classical social theory while drawing on concepts from migration research. Her recent articles address themes of temporal management, co-creation, and the evolving dynamics between case workers and refugees, particularly in light of shifts in Denmark's immigration and integration policy. In her teaching, she emphasizes the importance of understanding encounters between frontline employees of the welfare state and marginalized groups, including citizens from refugee backgrounds and those facing substance abuse challenges. Kohl's work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in relation to education and social justice.
