Biography

Born on 5 December 1964, [4] Hauge attended Tårnby Gymnasium and Skottegaardsskolen in Kastrup before studying economics at the Copenhagen Business School where she graduated in 1992. She then went on to study anthropology at the University of Copenhagen in 1996, leading to an M.Sc. in 2002. Thereafter she earned two doctorates (a Ph.D. in 2008 and a Post.doc in 2011), both from Copenhagen University. [2]

In addition to her work as a researcher at the University of Copenhagen, Hauge has been a project manager with Schneider Electric, Denmark (2007–09), resulting in substantial improvements to their products. [5] While working as a consultant for VELUX (2009–15), she completed work on an "Anthropological study and analysis of the importance of outside fresh air in the home". [6] At the Technical University of Denmark (2012–16), she included the importance of user experience among her courses on management engineering. [7]

As an anthropologist, Hauge has focused her work on the social effects of natural phenomena, especially how they impact people's everyday lives. Her work has included an analysis of how Germans and Danes view the importance of daylight as a basis for emphasizing the importance of light in a socio-cultural context. [1]

Phyllis Mary Kaberry was a social anthropologist who dedicated her work to the study of women in various societies. Particularly with her work in both Australia and Africa, she paved the way for a feminist approach in anthropological studies. Her research on the sacred life and significant role of the Aboriginal women of Australia proved to be a controversial topic, as anthropology during her years of early fieldwork was male-dominated, filled with the misconceptions that men were the superior in any aspect of life. Contributing proof of women's significance to societal development and organisation, Kaberry can be defined as an influential and significant anthropologist.
