Profile
My research mainly seeks to contribute to the sociomaterial psychological and pedagogical study of the human-technology-world relationship from within intergenerational everyday life. To that end, I draw inspiration from many other fields of research and their relational theorizing, by connecting a participatory take on conceptualizing a dialectical developmental process psychology to audience research, critical childhood studies, environmental humanities, feminist technoscience, and multimodal ethnographical design studies. I have especially focused on what it means for the relations between children, parents, professional educators, and the people around them, to be developing their agency in societies whose communication is heavily digitalized and mediatized. This also includes studying the possibilities and limitations of situating psychological research in praxis, and thus of engaging as a humanistic and social science researcher from within the everyday life of those I do research together with.
