Research interests
My research focuses on the areas of adult education and working life studies, main interest being in learning in adulthood, especially in work contexts. I have studied learning at work especially via professional identity and agency, inter-professional work and leadership, and emotions. This I have done by utilizing various methodologies such as ethnographic research, surveys, and physiological measures. My scientific publications consist of research articles and edited compiled book in the area of professional learning and development, working life studies and organizational development.
