No one should die alone: “Just holding hands” among vigil volunteers in Denmark
Ethos, EarlyView.Abstract A wealth of societal concerns about loneliness has surfaced in recent years, raising questions about the negative impacts of increasing social lacks. Exploring a widespread saying among Danish vigil volunteers that “No one should die alone,” we ask: What is at stake in this concern with lonely deaths? And how is relationality practiced at life'

With or without you: Family and Career‐Work in a Demanding and Precarious Profession
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Family arrangements are crucial to people's abilities to meet the high demands of professional careers; but most scholarship has examined stable, highly remunerated professions. To understand the relationship between career and family within the increasing number of precarious professions, we analyse interviews with 102 journalists.
