About
I work in English language and literature pedagogy in teacher education, with particular interests in children’s literature and picturebooks, multimodality, critical interculturality and literary education. My teaching includes bachelor’s and master’s level courses, supervision and practice-oriented teacher education. My research focuses particularly on how literary and multimodal texts can support critical, intercultural and inclusive English education. I have extensive international experience in teacher education, academic development and editorial work.
