Biography

I research and write about equality, agency and guidance on education. I lead the research and teaching unit of guidance on the teacher education department as well as the seminar for doctoral researchers on guidance, careers and education policies. I supervise master's students and teach courses on practices and policies of guidance and its intertwinement with life courses and social justice. 

Research interests

I research and write about equality, agency and guidance on education. My expertise is on the sociology and politics of education and I research guidance in its social and educational-political context. I conduct research on the practices and policies of guidance and its intertwinement with young people's life courses. I have a special interest on equality and social justice in guidance. I have a title of a docent at the Unversity of Helsinki and you can follow my earlier research on https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/mira-kalalahti
