Sebastian Mohr from Aarhus University (Emdrup) is an Assistant Professor of educational sociology and an ethnographer of gender, sexuality, and intimacy at the intersection of sciences, technology, health, and (reproductive) biomedicine. His interests lie with the meanings of gender and sexuality for the various dimensions of everyday life, both as matters of (embodied) experience and (bodily) practice and as knowledge categories, which interact with and organize societal and institutional arenas, moral landscapes as well as individual lifeworlds. He has a special interest in the reflective and embodied dimensions of ethnographic research and its epistemological, methodological, and ethical underpinnings.

The talk will be based on his current research project: "Militarizing Intimacy: Danish Veterans' Experiences of Nearness" which attends to Danish soldiers' experiences of intimacy and how those are influenced by military training, war and violence, and psychotherapy.
