Biography

My areas of research specialization comprise the broader fields of children's interaction and peer language socialization, identity-work. multilingualism, affect and morality as socially situated and locally constituted phenomena embedded in cultural practices. I have carried out videoethnographic research across educational settings (school, preschool, leisure-time program, special needs practices) with a focus on children's peer group interactions and adult-child interaction.

My research can be organized in three interrelated subfields:

1a) From a peer language socialization approach, examining children's identity-work (gender, ethnicity, class, disability, age) in their social and cultural contexts 1b) children's interactional practices (i.e. play and games, multilingualism, bulling, disputes, gossip, story telling, moral account-work) and language socialisation in multiethnic peer groups

2) Pedagogical discourse, affect and moral order and heteroglossic practices and multilingualism as an integral part of children's peer culture and adult-child interaction

3) Methodological interests in studies of talk-and bodies-in-interaction, everyday language practices, combining a language socialization approach, ethnography with conversation analysis and ethnomethodology
