Profile
As a social anthropologist I have focused on children's rights in a social, cultural, and communal context. I have spent time in Cambodia looking at volunteer tourism, and more recently in Jerusalem where I have researched both IDF and Jerusalem Police in relation to childhoods in the Israel/Palestine context. I am now based in Trondheim, Norway where I will write a second masters thesis in Childhood Studies.
