Since 2020 I work at the Department of Educational Sciences as associate professor in Integrative Life Science Education, and is currently also head of the Research Group in Science Education. After completing a master’s degree in natural resource management and agroecology at NMBU in 1985, I did a PhD in Pedagogy on 'Ecology of Knowing' (1995). 1991-96 I was programme director of NMBUs new interdisciplinary programmes in agroecology - and a national development programme for school gardens in Norway (1996-2000). My main interest in teaching is integrative life science education and teacher education. My research is aimed at the foundation and applications of integrative education: epistemologies, pedagogies and practices in Integrative Teacher Education and in Phenomenological Life Science Education. From 2013-2016 I was the research coordinator at Ruskin Mill Educational Trust, England. And from 2016-2020 principal at Sogn Agricultural College; an upper secondary vocational school specialized in agroecology and organic agriculture in Aurland, Norway.
