About
My research interests primarily focus on:
i) knowledge work in the professions and professional education (incl. the relations between professional knowledge, the societal mandate of the professions, and autonomy).
ii) organisation of higher education (incl. program development and program leadership, institutional perspectives on education, and the juridification of higher education), and
iii) the foundational values of universities (incl. academic freedom and the societal responsbility of universities).
I am a member of the research group Professional Knowledge and Qualification at CSP. I am a qualitative researcher and draw on a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches.
At the Centre for the Study of the Professions, I teach courses in teaching and learning in higher education and PhD courses at our doctoral program.
I am an editorial board member of Professions and Professionalism.
