About me

I am a PhD Student at the Department of Education, Stockholm University since 2022. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Educational Science from the University of Muenster, Germany and a Master's Degree in International and Comparative Education from Stockholm University.

During my studies I discovered my interest for education in prison and for my current dissertation project I am exploring education in Swedish prisons and the conditions for learning and participation. The project explores the teachers' experiences of working in correctional settings and how they support learning. In addition, I conducted interviews with formerly incarcerated individuals and distributed questionnaires to prisoners in order to learn more about their perspectives, experiences and reasons for participating respectively not participating in education while incarcerated.
