About
I teach and supervise at the bachelor's and master's levels in Early Childhood Education teacher training at OsloMet. My research interests are linked to cultural diversity and multilingualism driven by a desire to prevent alienation and to contribute to social justice.
In previous work, I have looked more closely at the significance of the aesthetic dimensions in linguistic interaction when children and the staff in ECEC do not yet share a common spoken language. I want to contribute research that creates connections between aesthetics and multilingualism. I have experience with aesthetics-based and action research-inspired methods. Since 2021, I have been the leader of a Scandinavian research network for multilingualism, aesthetics, and diversity (FEM).
I am currently working on multilingualism as a resource in higher education and investigating how teachers can facilitate broader use of different languages and forms of expression in which to articulate subject knowledge.
