Field of work

I am an Associate Professor of Social Studies with a particular interest in social inequality in education and society. My research focuses on racism and anti-racism in schools and teacher education, as well as intersectionality, power, identity and belonging, in both Norwegian and international contexts.

I teach social studies in primary and lower secondary teacher education (GLU) and early childhood teacher education (BLU).
