About

I am Associate Professor of Pedagogy 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 focuses on topics related to the teacher’s role in school and society, often through a comparative perspective. Areas of my work include teacher professional identity and retention, multicultural and multilingual teacher professionalism, multilingual literacies in education, and teacher activism. I am also interested in employing, combining and developing different research methods.
