This is my private homepage. Besides that, I maintain a homepage about my research, glossa.dk, in which I have published numerous articles and texts about linguistics and Greek and Roman literature.

So who am I? I am 38 years old and live together with my husband Jakob in Vejlby in the northern part of Århus (the capital of Jutland). Professionally, I work as an Associate Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Aarhus.

My first name is pronounced in English, but my last name in Danish (i.e. ['dʒɒ:dʒ 'heŋə]) – it is not a matter of affectation, but a complicated fact that reflects my no less complicated family history.

Besides my passion for language, I am also interested in theology, philosophy and politics, if one dare believe that these three horses may be joined under one and the same yoke.

Therefore I have a (sometimes well-founded, but always well-argued) opinion about most things: I am a Social Democrat, but I do not think that there is any opposition between ideology and pragmatism. I am a Christian, but I do not think that a liberal world view is in any contradiction with God. I am engaged in different organisations, e.g. LGBT Danmark and the Social Democratic Party.
