Personal profile

Description of research and teaching

My research interests include gender, sexual harassment, intersectionality, violence, identities, and affects. Theoretically and methodologically I am interested in social constructionism, discourse analysis, feminist discursive psychologies, poststructural theory, affect theory, and creative research methodologies in qualitative research. My current research project is entitled "Young people and sexual harassment: meanings and intersectional negotiations in diversifying socio-cultural contexts".
