Biography

Kamilla Peuravaara has a PhD in sociology. Her research interests are at the intersection of the sociology of the body, feminist research and disability studies, which can best be described as conceptions of normality in relation to the body, femininity and (dis)ability. She is particularly inspired in her research by perspectives such as intersectionality, social constructionism and power. Her research aims to improve our understanding of the role played by conceptions and constructions of normality in constructing identities.
