Research interests
Kirsten is an experienced researcher in the areas of work and culture and has expert research skills in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. As well as being an experienced researcher, Kirsten is seeking to further explore her doctoral thesis topic, which looked at the utilisation of Christian Camps by the institutional church as a form of religious reproduction. She is particularly interested in the relationship between religious and cultural experiences and their engagement in the work force, and 'religious' versus 'secular' workforces in general.
