Eleonor Bredlöv Eknor
About me
I got my PhD in 2018, at Linköping university, with the dissertation Shaped for beauty: Vocational and gendered subjectivities in private education for the beauty industry. I currently hold a position as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Child and Youth Studies, where I run a research project that focusses on emotional and relational aspects of pre school teacher students' learning processes, as they are enacted during their workplacement education.
