Pääasiallisia tutkimusalueitani ovat kulttuurienvälinen kasvatus ja katsomuskasvatus. Olen kiinnostunut tutkimuksesta, joka liikkuu näiden kasvatuksen alueiden sekä ympäristö- ja ilmastokasvatuksen risteymässä. Vuosina 2021-2023 johdan Suomen osahanketta eurooppalaisessa CCC-CATAPULT-konsortiossa, joka tutkii nuorten ilmastotoimijuutta ja pyrkii kehittämään katsomustietoisia ja kulttuurisesti vastuullisia lähestymistapoja ilmastokasvatukseen.
