Research
My research draws on perspectives and theories from sociology, political science, and social psychology, focusing on two main themes that sometimes overlap. Firstly, I examine the reciprocal relationship between citizens and institutions. Secondly, I explore how people participate and interact in digital environments. Through these themes, I have also delved into understanding social inequality, well-being, consumption patterns, lifestyles, and deviant behavior.
