About Jesper Löve

My main research and teaching interest concerns different aspects of health inequalities. The studies I am involved in can comprise how inequalities in different health outcomes are mapped and described, what the drivers and mechanisms behind these inequalities look like, and societal action that can limit them. Although challenging, I truly enjoy the interdisciplinarity needed to understand and act in this field of work.
