Personal profile
Research interests
The common nominator of my research interests is power and power relations in connection to education and parenting. I have focused on understanding the social reality of parents, especially mothers, in Iceland by researching affect related to parenthood, the demands made on mothers and what social consequences they have. I have also studied neoliberalism and social justice in the education system in Iceland. In addition, I have knowledge and interest in queer realities in connection to education and family matters.
Methodologically I use qualitative methods such as discourse analysis of media material, interviews and qualitative questionnaires.
