The researcher Camilla Rindstedt from Department of Child and Youth Studies has recently been granted funds by the rector to spend a sabbatical semester at the Thomas Coram Research Unit, Institute of Education, University College London (UCL) in the fall of 2024.

During her stay in London, Camilla will have a close collaboration with Professor Ann Phoenix, internationally recognized for her research on parenting, masculinity and childhood, among other things. The purpose of the stay is to further deepen the collaboration she has already built up with UCL and Professor Phoenix.
In the last two years, Camilla has applied for and been granted funding from the Swedish Research Council for two different research projects.

• Father with children: an ethnographic study of institutional conversations, BVC and everyday life where she is the project manager.
• Children, diapers and physical care in preschool. Scaffolding young children’s self-regulation and cleanness practices.

Camilla will continue working on the projects above during her stay in UCL. With the sabbatical semester for five months she will conduct research in an exciting international environment and at the same time expand and deepen her international contacts. An exchange that also means increased opportunities to strengthen BUV's international research collaboration and gain new valuable international collaboration partners.

We wish Camilla all the best in University college London!
