Research Interests
Her work focuses on the structural barriers to social class equality in school as well as on the psychological consequences of belonging to a social class. ​
​​
In 2024, she joined the LIVES Centre as a SNSF Ambizione researcher
(2024-2028) to develop her work on social class in a lifecourse perspective. She uses longitudinal datasets to examine how social class shapes people's relationships over time—both in terms of their interdependence or independence, and their connections to social groups.
