Monika Allgurin is Professor in Social Work. Her research focuses on the intersectional approaches to the processes and practices of inequality (re)production within the context of the welfare state. In particular, she is  interested in the agency-structure relationships within diverse contexts as well as the creation and use of various spaces at the individual, groups, organizational, and societal levels. Methodologically, she is  trained in discourse and narrative analysis.  Her most recent work revolves around the emotional dimension of qualitative research and institutional practices and applies interactional analysis to trace the emergence and construction of emotions within the context of meetings between professional and non-professional actors.
