Dag Jenssen

Dag Jenssen serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Social Work, Child Welfare and Social Policy at Oslo Metropolitan University's Faculty of Social Sciences. His research examines knowledge practices, professional collaboration, and social citizenship within hybrid welfare organizations in Norway and Germany.

His primary research areas include critical realism, philosophy of science for social work, hybrid social work organizations, and interprofessional teamwork. He investigates how values influence research and practice, the coherence of social systems, and the evolving territorial boundaries of social work in relation to social policy.

Analysis of recent publications reveals a concentrated focus on hybridity in welfare services, employing critical realist methodology to dissect knowledge contestation and fragile collaborations. His work consistently bridges theoretical philosophy with practical service delivery, emphasizing Scandinavian contexts while incorporating German comparative perspectives.
