Biography

Nana Vaaben holds a Cand Scient in Anthropology and a PhD, focusing on economic logics and their impact on social norms and lived experiences. Her research investigates the interplay between economic principles and societal phenomena, particularly how competition and ideas of productivity shape work organization in public and private sectors, as well as domestic environments. Her recent studies have examined moral distress within professions such as nursing, particularly in public hospitals in Denmark, exploring the challenges faced by caregivers and the implications for care quality. Vaaben's academic focus includes themes of work, value, and time, especially as they relate to economic anthropology and capitalism.
