Trine Schifter Larsen serves as Associate Professor in the Department of People and Technology at Roskilde University, maintaining a concurrent part-time position at Amager og Hvidovre Hospital's Clinical Research Center. Her dual institutional affiliation bridges academic research with clinical healthcare delivery, focusing on critical analysis of healthcare systems and patient experiences.
Her research centers on health inequality production within healthcare institutions, examining how political concepts like participation and inclusion manifest in clinical practices. Specializing in sociomaterial ethnography, she investigates sleep patterns in elderly rehabilitation, medical technology implementation, and interprofessional collaboration—particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her methodological approach emphasizes contextual emergence of practices through interactions between language, bodies, and artifacts.
Larsen's publication portfolio reveals consistent thematic focus across recent articles: health disparities for ethnically minoritized patients (2023-2024), sleep as a social-medical phenomenon in geriatric care (2021-2025), and innovative healthcare space design through community collaboration (2025). Her work frequently employs mixed-methods and ethnographic designs to uncover systemic inequities.
As an educator, she supervises bachelor's and master's students while leading projects like VORES: Welfare and Relations - A Health Project and the Byens Haver residential health assessment. Her hospital-based action research examines clinical workflows and emotional risk management, demonstrating commitment to translating research into practice improvements.
