She is currently a professor of Youth Justice and Children’s Rights, Youth Criminology (with a focus on gender and diversity), and Constitutional Criminal Law at the Free University of Brussels.

Throughout her research, Els has developed various qualitative research skills, including judicial file analysis, participant observation, and conducting interviews. In recent years, she has promoted and co-developed new art-based and performative methods, such as filmmaking and photo-voicing, to amplify the voices of youth at social risk.
