My main research interest is oriented towards the educational institutions, how they frame the living conditions of both children and teachers. My PhD studies will focus policy and policy enactment within leasure time centers. Methodologically, I am primarily inspired by ethnography, the chosen method for my magister’s thesis which explored the ambivalence high school students in a socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhood show in relation to school and schoolwork. My professional background is as a preschool teacher, most recently working with the youngest children focusing on teaching and creating learning environments that empower children and make room for their wishes and interests. Fresh out of the master’s program in child and youth studies here at IPKL I’m both glad and humbled to be a part of the institution.
