Teaching: Sarah teaches courses in sociology (particular focus on qualitative methods and social inequality), work science (qualitative methods) as well as in the teachers program. She supervises bachelor thesises in sociology.

Current research: Sarah's research examines how time and temporalities of migration are expressed and experienced among people who have sought asylum under the temporary law. This includes individuals who are still in the asylum process as well as individuals who have temporary protection. Within this, Sarah studies time as an exertion of power, and how such power is experienced, organised and negotiated among those affected by the politics of asylum.
