Profile

I am a trained pedagogue with a Master's degree in Educational Psychology.

In my research, I investigate the collaborative information practices of lower secondary school pupils, i.e., how they work together in seeking, evaluating, sharing, and creating information during project work.

My general area of interest is how children and young people use digital technologies as meaningful parts of their everyday life conduct, social participation, and learning practices. In addition, I am broadly interested in the school as a social institution and the conditions of subjectivation, understandings of knowledge, and mechanisms of normalization that it constitutes. In particular, I focus on how these dynamics shape the ways in which pupils are positioned, formed, and come to understand themselves as (learning) subjects. I am concerned with how school practices – including, among other things, the use of technology, pedagogical rationalities, and assessment forms – co-produce particular pupil subjectivities while simultaneously excluding or marginalizing other ways of being a child or young person.
