As professor I teach Danish constitutional and public-administrative law as well as EU-law and international law at Roskilde University. As adjunct professor at the Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen, I teach Danish Ecclesiastical law and law on religions. My research profile includes all dimensions of legal-religious interplay with a special emphasis on changing situations in the North-European countries. I have contributed to Danish, Nordic and European research projects within that rather wide field for quite some years. My publications include edited books, book chapters and articles on direct state regulation of church and religion as such; on ecclesiastical law within the Nordic majority churches and in some other religious communities; and on religious perspectives on law. They also include indirect legal regulation of religion in contexts of school, workplace, family law, criminal law, migration law etc. For further inforrmation, take at look at my university website: https://forskning.ruc.dk/da/persons/lic As a public intellectual, I quite often contribute to the public debate on the background of my research. I was by the government appointed member of a governmental committee to analyse the future legal structure of the Danish Lutheran Volkchurch, the established church, and I have been a member of the Independent Research Fund Denmark, the committee for Social Sciences.
