“Education is not memorizing that Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required. Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself” (speech by Holocaust survivor Barbara Schecter Cohen).

I am an associate professor in education at the University of Agder, currently engaged in a post-doctorate project, exploring alternative approaches to standardised quality assurance systems in Early Childhood Education that embrace diversity and depolarise educational discourse.

I have work experience from all levels of the Norwegian education system, from early childhood education, primary-, lower- and upper-secondary school, to university-level education.

My fields of expertise are Early Childhood Education, Research Methods in Education, Adapted Education and Inclusion, History and Philosophy of Education, and Education Policy and Quality Assurance Systems.
