Personal profile
Research profile
I am an associate professor in education sociology, coordinator of the research network EDU-SOC, and member of the research group CO-LEARN. I participate in various international networks such as the European Society for the Research on Education for Adults (ESREA) and Ethnography and Education (E&E).
I have expertice in etnographic approches to researching education policy and practice. I am particularly interested in issues of social learning, inclusion, evaluation, differentiation, social inequality, and structural change. My focus is on both general and vocational education and targets youth and adults across different sectors, places, and historical periods.
Teaching profile
I coordinate the master's programme of Learning and Change (LFP), where I teach and supervise especially on the semester of the master's thesis. I teach qualitative and ethnographic methods along with evaluation practices on the master's programmes of LFP and MLP, and on the social science module of pedagogy and didactics.
