Short presentation
I am a postdoctoral researcher with a PhD in Sociology of Education from Uppsala University. My research interests include the sociology of power, culture, education, and science. I investigate how educational institutions, cultural practices, and the ways we produce knowledge determine (and are in turn determined by) who holds power and how opportunities are distributed in society.
