About
I am Associate Professor of Education at the Department of Primary and Secondary Teacher Education at OsloMet. I hold a PhD from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Before joining OsloMet, I worked in the teacher education programmes at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and University College Copenhagen in Denmark.
My research and teaching focus on topics related to the teacher's role in school and society, often through a comparative perspective. I am enthusiastic about employing and combining different research methods.
I welcome opportunities for PhD supervision, prioritising dialogue and transparent communication as a supervisor. It is important for me to support the candidates in pursuing their research interests and developing their competences as researchers and academics.
