About
I am Associate Professor of Education at Oslo Metropolitan University. I hold a PhD from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Before joining OsloMet, I worked in the teacher education programs at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and University College Copenhagen in Denmark.
I specialise in research and teaching centred around the role of the teacher in school and society. My research emerges around different aspects of teacher professionalism, such as teacher learning, identity, and activism. Further, my work encompasses multilingualism in education. I combine comparative and ethnographic research methodologies, complemented by other methods, including collaborative approaches.
Currently, I am involved in the research project 'School in Society'. You can find information about the project here: School in Society - Students, Principals, and Teachers as Political Subjects | University of Gothenburg (gu.se)
