Personal profile
Description of research and teaching
I work as assistant professor of education and director of Social Studies in Urban Education (SURE) research unit. My main fields of study are sociology of education and urban studies.
SURE-unit has several ongoing and newly starting research projects from pre-primary education through higher education, which can be found here:
https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/social-studies-in-urban-education/projects
Generally I teach in the Swedish-speaking programme of teacher education at all levels. During academic year 2021-2022 I hold a Master's Thesis seminar and doctoral seminar (SURE). SURE also teaches the course Critical Questions in Urban Education in the autumn 2021, and continues with the methodological Ethnography-course (doctoral level).
Currently I am not accepting new PhD candidates. There are some available positions for Master's Thesis work in the projects. The studies may be conducted in Swedish, Finnish or English.
