Research interests

I develop situated art intervention as a research method to explore complex research questions related to gender, dementia, and how to live in difference together. I have also worked with other qualitative research methods, including archival studies, content analysis, multimodal analysis, aesthetic analysis, diffractive analysis, discourse analysis, policy analysis, and ethnographic fieldwork.

I primarily work inter- and transdisciplinary, collaborating with artists, social scientists, and natural scientists who are interested in human thoughts, performances, creations, and relationships, as well as the broader question of what it means to be human.
