Research interests
I have researched the organisation of measures for youths aged 18-23 who receive assistance from child welfare services and contributed to legislative changes in the new Norwegian Child Welfare Act (2021). The doctoral dissertation explores how youths aged 18-23 participate. I am further researching youths' participation among those with child welfare experience as they transition into adulthood.
Member of the international research networks INTRAC (International Research Network on Transitions to Adulthood from Care), CoRiT (Community of Researchers in Transition), and NRT (Nordic Research Network on Care Leaver’s Transition to Adulthood).
Additionally, I research teaching and learning in higher education through group practice.
Teaching
I teach about aftercare, adoption, children and youths' participation and perspectives on children and youths in the bachelor's programs in child welfare and social work, as well as the master's program in child welfare work. In addition, I supervise bachelor's and master's students.
I have been an external examiner in social work studies and child welfare subjects and a research contact for the Holberg Prize in schools (University of Bergen). Upon request, I have been a peer reviewer for international journals.
