Research
I am devoted to interdisciplinary research that promotes social justice and the wellbeing among people of all ages. My research focuses on improving our understanding of social factors influencing older persons’ cognitive and mental health, the effective administration of health and social care, and the continuous development of professional in these sectors. I have also research on the psychosocial development of high-performance athletes and doping behaviour.
Teaching
I have taught in psychology, sociology, ageing studies, and behavioural sciences since 2014. I teach in KAU scientific methods and statistical analysis in the BSc and MSc level.
I use the Socratic approach in my teaching that is based on discussions and interaction with students, while I am trying actively to limit my monologues in the classroom. I believe on the value of bi-directional feedback between lecturers and students.
Collaboration
2022 - ongoing. The St@ndByMe project. The project aims to support practitioners in the field of adult education (i.e., teaching older persons the use of ICTs), as well as health and social care (including long-term care) in professionalizing their work according to the European human rights framework for digital inclusion in older age. The project is a collaboration of six institutions from six European countries (Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Estonia, Greece).
