Jeanett Bjønness, Ph.D., currently Assistant Professor at Centre for Alcohol and Drug Research, Aarhus University, is an anthropologist from the Dept. for Anthropology and Ethnography, Aarhus University. Her research has focused on prostitution, drugs, social work, social policy, victimization, agency, gender, class and the relation between marginalized women and the social system. Presently her research explores non-medical use of prescription drugs in the Danish educational system, in relation to well-being and risk. Furthermore, she is interested in the possible methodological and ethical dilemmas inherent in researching politicized and morally loaded fields as prostitution, drug- and medicine use and more generally the area of social marginalization.
