    Primary fields of research

    My primary interest within research and teaching concerns sociological theory, sociology of emotions, organisational and worklife, sociology of conflict, violence and personal life (love, friendship, courage). I am a member of the research group "Culture and civil society", and for the moment I am developing a project within the new research areas called the personal life.
