Education:
PhD in Youth Studies, Aalborg University and MA in Psychology and Communication Studies from Roskilde University.
Field of research:
My research area is wellbeing, mental health and lack hereof for non-marginalized as well as marginalized young people. I participate in research projects exploring young people’s struggles with wellbeing and mental health that might contribute to further struggles to enter and complete ordinary upper secondary education. My focus is often young people’s relationships, worldviews and self-images, their challenges, coping strategies as well as more structural and cultural perspectives on young people’s struggles.
