Introduction
I'm a sociologist. I teach courses on family studies and qualitative methodologies. I get inspired by Wright Mills' sociological imagination to grasp the relations between history and biography within society, and I particularly enjoy engaging students in creative social research projects. My research focuses on family, childhood, gender, social time, and everyday life. I often draw on my own teaching and research practice and use autoethnographic writing to reflect on epistemology and ethics.
