I work as an associate professor in Food and health at the Department of Nutrition and Public Health and primarily teach primary school teacher students at the bachelor's and master's levels. I am a member of the Lifecourse Nutrition Priority Research Centre, which focuses on food and nutrition in the early stages of life. My research focus is the school subject Food and health; competence needs in primary school, curriculum understanding, interdisciplinarity and in-depth learning, pedagogical entrepreneurship, development of teaching materials and food and meals for different groups.
I work with classroom research in Food and health, with an emphasis on pedagogical learning resources, subject competence, competence needs and pedagogical entrepreneurship in schools.
