Kort om meg

My work as an interdisciplinary philosopher of education is dedicated to challenging children’s historical marginalization by transforming scholarly and social norms, especially in the areas of pedagogy, childism, decoloniality, children's rights, intergenerational climate justice and qualitative methodology. I am an Associate Professor in Pedagogy at the University of Stavanger (Norway) and mentor for early career researchers at the Doctoral College for Intersectionality Studies at the University of Bayreuth (Germany).  I also serve as the co-director of The Childism Institute, University of Rutgers Camden (USA).
