About

I am an associate professor in pedagogy at the Department of Primary and Secondary Teacher Education (GFU) Oslo Metropolitan University. I have worked for several years as a teacher in secondary school, and have a P.hD (2022) from the Centre for the Study of Professions, exploring the knowledge work of hybrid teacher educators. 

My research interests focus on partnerships between schools and teacher education, teachers’ professional knowledge and professional development. I have also contributed to several research reports on topics related to teacher education, including the teaching profession’s participation in collaboration with teacher education programmes, and bachelor’s and master’s theses in teacher education.

At GFU, I teach courses including Pedagogy and Pupil Knowledge (PEL) and Profession-Oriented Pedagogy, and I am involved in several collaborative projects with schools and school authorities through the university school partnership.

I am the research group leader for the group Early Childhood Teacher, Teacher, Professional Qualification, and Educational Research.
