My main research focuses on teaching food and health in schools and sustainability related to teacher training and teaching in higher education. I teach primary school teacher students in food and health at both bachelor's and master's level. I also teach health communication on the Bachelor of Public Health.

Research interests

Food and health in schools (Home economics) and teacher education are now my research field. The topic is related to teaching in general and, more recently, sustainability teaching in particular at various levels in the education course.

I lead the Nordplus network FENN (Food Education Network North). The network will create a joint and coherent Nordic-Baltic education area centered on Food Education, enabling systematic and coordinated collaboration and development of Food Education based on the latest research and development activities. https://app.cristin.no/projects/show.jsf?id=2664800

I have also done research on young children and nutrition. In my PhD, I developed the website Mat til minsten. Read more about the project here: https://www.uia.no/om-uia/fakultet/fakultet-for-helse-og-idrettsvitenskap/mat-til-minsten.
