About

I am Associate Professor of Education in the Department of Primary and Secondary Teacher Education at OsloMet, where I teach, supervise, and conduct research broadly within the teaching profession and education. I hold a PhD from the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (Denmark). Before joining OsloMet, I worked in teacher education at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) and University College Copenhagen (Denmark).

My research examines teachers' roles in school and society, often from a comparative perspective. Current research areas include teachers' professional identity and retention, educator professionalism, including teacher activism, and multilingualism in education. I am also interested in exploring, combining, and further developing research methods for studying pedagogical practice.
