''Making sense in late modern times constitutes of a wrestling process that leads to an interpretive crisis of one's own experiences. The disposition with contingent certainties is central to my research. I conduct research on experiences of contingency (that something could have been different) in everyday life and the way people make meaning of these experiences.''
