I did my doctorate in 2011 with the thesis Music and Risk in an existential and gendered world. In the spring of 2015, I was accepted as Associate professor in psychology.
My research areas include studies on psychosocial living conditions from an interdisciplinary perspective. I lead and participate in projects about organizational actions on social media and resisting, for example, hate and threats. A relatively newly started project deals with psychosocial processes around expressing opinions online.
My thesis work focused on young people's risk behavior from social psychological and existential aspects. A near area of research concerns sexual development and sexual vulnerability and I have worked in projects within the framework of #metoo around sexual harassment and the social organization that makes up the movement. Part of this research has included the impact on the working situation of various professional groups (e.g. police officers).
A completely new field of research is psychosocial perspectives on living in the archipelago, especially on islands, with a special focus on digitalization.
