About
I am an associate professor in pedagogy at the Department of Primary and Secondary Teacher Education (GFU) OsloMet. In my research, I am particularly interested in collaboration and partnerships between schools and higher education-based teacher education, professional knowledge, and professional development.
I have a P.hD (2022) from the Centre for the Study of Professions, exploring the knowledge work of hybrid teacher educators.
