Research project

I am currently pursuing a doctorate in child protection. My research focuses on how aftercare services can better support young adults with cross-cultural backgrounds in their transition to adulthood with a particular focus on identity, belonging, and social inclusion.

Writing and Publications

I am an active writer, contributing both academically and publicly on issues related to child welfare, migration, cross-cultural identities, social justice, and human rights.

My non-academic writing includes opinion pieces and essays published in national Norwegian media, addressing topics such as integration, minority rights, child welfare practice, and global responsibility.

My peer-reviewed academic publications focus on child welfare, mental health, and the lived experiences of unaccompanied refugee minors and cross-cultural young adults.
