Research
My research draws on perspectives and theories from sociology, political science, and social psychology, focusing on two main themes that sometimes overlap: First, I examine the reciprocal relationship between citizens and institutions. Second, I explore how people participate and interact in digital environments. Through these themes, I have aimed to understand themes like social inequality, subjective well-being, consumption and lifestyle, and deviant behavior.
