One project investigates the practice of online social work and counselling where I follow and analyse the professional practice, its possibilities and limitations.
Together with a colleague I am also investigating the Swedish children’s rights organisation BRIS. During 2012-2013, BRIS changed from being an organization based on volunteers taking calls to the helpline, in regional centers all over Sweden to a centralized organization, with a head office in Stockholm, where all call takers to the helpline are professional counsellors. The project wishes to investigate the background to this process of professionalization as well as how changed relations between civil society organizations and the public welfare sector have an impact on the politics concerning children’s rights promoted by BRIS.
I teach courses in social work involving children and young people, talk and social interaction and theories and methods in social work research.
