Communication skills for the public Commentator In 2012 I won FUHU s Research Communication Prize. I have been a regularly commentator at both Weekendavisen (1999-2001) and Dagbladet Information (2001-2003; 2009-2011)(two Danish newspapers) and Socialrådgiveren (magazine for social workers) (2003-2004). Since 2011 I have been doing columns for Psykology Nyt (magazine for psychologist) on different matters concerning the relationship between the individual and the welfare state. Interviews in media and lectures for the public In the last ten years I have been giving many interviews in TV, radio, newspapers and magazines, and I have been given approx. 15-20 lectures yearly for different stakeholders. I have, for example, been lecturing for DI (Confederation of Danish Industry); LO; Danish political parties; Doctors yearly meeting (Arbejdsmediciners årsmøde); and for social workers and managers in many municipalities in Denmark and for students and teachers in Danish University colleges.
