I have a background in occupational science, occupational therapy, public health, and psychology. I am interested in participation and inclusion among people who risk outsiderness and exclusion. Risk for exclusion can in this context mean i.e. loosing one's job, living with a disability, or being a migrant. Participation in this context is both about being part of social and occupational contexts as well as the methodologies for how we can engage and involve people in research.
