I am a doctoral researcher in the Faculty of Education and Culture at Tampere University (EDU). My research interests include social interaction and student well-being in comprehensive school. In my PhD research I study social support as a relational system and it’s dynamic relations to engaging and enjoying schoolwork and learning.
Currently I work as a doctoral researcher in EDU and my work has been previously supported by the Emil Aaltonen foundation. I work also as a researcher in the “SchoolWell” research project. I am also a board member in PERLA – Tampere Centre for Childhood, Youth and Family Research. My doctoral dissertation is a part of the research projects “School matters” and “Teachers’ Strategies Matter ”.
