Research
In my ongoing dissertation work, I take interest in what emerges from young people´s narratives about theater and its significance for their reading of fictional texts.
The study can contribute knowledge about how the practice of theater and improv theater in one´s free time can connect to fiction reading practices both in and outside of school.
I am a member of the research group ROSE (Research on Subject-specific Education) which is an interdisciplinary research environment with a particular focus on Disciplin-Based Education Research.
