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 identity in education and work, multicultural and multilingual educator professionalism, multilingual literacies in education, and teacher activism and political subjectivity. I am also interested in employing, combining and developing different research methods.

I welcome opportunities for PhD supervision for candidates working on topics related to my research interests. It is important for me to support the candidates in pursuing their research interests and developing their competences as researchers and academics.
