Her research draws on interdisciplinary approaches and includes research on the role of technology in the lives of children and young people, marginalisation in education, social justice, language issues, gender, education, and youth. This work has taken a central focus in looking at the way in which education and, more specifically, teacher education can contribute to providing competencies for democratic participation.
