I am a associate professor and are doing research on issues related to the motivation, citizenship education and education for a sustainable transformation of the society.
I am an associate professor at the department of science and mathematics education at Umeå University and part of UmSER (Umeå Science Education Research). I have a degree of Master of Education, a Master of Science in Biology and Ph.D. in Educational Measurement. My research interests are mainly students' motivation, citizenship education and education for sustainable development. I work with variety of theoretical and methodological approaches but have my expertise in large scale measurements of knowledge and attitudes. It is important to me to contribute to and therefore I like to collaborate with the surrounding society.
In addition to research, I teach at the teacher education program and participates in a collaboration project concerning education for a sustainable development with Umeå municipality.
Before earning my PhD degree, I have worked as an environmental consultant, teacher at upper secondary school and as a test developer.
