I lead LiU’s research initiative on school-age educare, where I work to initiate, conduct, and disseminate research in this field. My projects address topics such as professional agency, didactics, everyday practices in school-age educare, and international comparative perspectives.
I am also interested in children’s and young people’s daily experiences in various leisure-time institutions. I currently lead projects examining youth centres as arenas for belonging, as well as what children aged 10–12 consider important in their leisure time.
Democracy and inclusion constitute another central research area for me. I focus particularly on student influence, participation, and children’s rights. I am also interested in inclusion in education, including accessibility and how children with disabilities experience their daily life in school and school-age educare.
In addition, I am the project leader for the Swedish Research Council–funded project The Role of the Teaching Assistant, in which we develop knowledge about this complex and often overlooked profession.
