معرفی
Jo Krøjer serves as Associate Professor at Roskilde University's Department of People and Technology, leading the OrgESS (Organization, Ethics & Social Sustainability) research group with affiliations across three centers: Day Care Research, Gender Power and Diversity, and Social Sustainability. Her academic profile integrates critical gender analysis with welfare state interventions through participatory methodologies.
Her research program centers on gender dynamics in working life, ethical dilemmas in welfare professions, and social sustainability through memory work and creative empirical methods. Key focus areas include professionalization processes, intersectional power structures in care work, and emotional labor within digital platforms and universal daycare systems, consistently employing post-structuralist and critical race frameworks.
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal escalating focus on racialized gender dynamics in Scandinavian welfare contexts, with recurring themes of emotional economies, platform labor precarity, and anti-sexist workplace interventions. Her work demonstrates strong methodological innovation through memory work and forum theater applications in care settings.
Scientific recognition includes:
- DANWISE award 2022
As educator, she lectures in Social Intervention (KA), Psychology (BA/KA), and Roskilde Doctoral School, specializing in post-structuralist theory, gender-labor market relations, and creative research methods. Current grants include the Nordic Gender Equality Fund's PowPlay project (2022-2023) and the multi-year 'Pædagogisk normkritiks forandringshorisonter' (2025-2027) examining norm-critical pedagogical transformations.
She directs OrgESS research collective which develops ethical frameworks for organizational sustainability through collaborative interventions in welfare institutions, with particular emphasis on transforming gendered and racialized power dynamics in Danish daycare systems.
