Department of Social Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies
I am a doctoral researcher in social work at the Department of Social Sciences. In my doctoral research, I examine out-of-home care and young people’s experiences of life in care. The aim of my research is to develop a deeper understanding of everyday life in out-of-home care from the perspective of young people. I am particularly interested in research methods that enable an in-depth exploration of lived experience and bring forward the voices of young people.
