Interests
Read more about my interests in research, teaching and collaboration.
My dissertation project "Children's friendship in a time of mediatization" aims to use ethnographic methods to investigate children's friendships in everyday life, with a particular focus on school, club sports and social media. More specifically, the project intends to use a child's perspective to make visible what children in middle school age consider to be friendship, how friendship takes place and what meanings friendship has for children in a time of increased mediatization.
Guiding questions initially are:
- What is friendship?
- How does friendship happen?
- What affects friendships?
My areas of interest are in sports politics, sociology and pedagogy.
I am also a participant in the research group Research in Education & Movement Culture, which is an interdisciplinary research group that conducts research in the humanities and social sciences on movement, culture and society.
Teaches mainly in physical education with a special focus on swimming and supervision of
student essays.
Is one of nine doctoral students at the Graduate School: School, Sports and Screen, which is a collaboration
