PhD
I am employed at the Institute for Social Research and am an externally funded PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Oslo. My doctoral project focuses on young people’s educational choices. I explore how young people from different social backgrounds navigate the process of choosing higher education, and what opportunities and barriers they experience. The PhD project is part of Missing Men: New conceptual understandings of gendered educational choices and is funded by the Research Council of Norway.
