Job description

I am associate professor at the Department of Social Education. I did my PhD at the same department and in my project I studied volunteerism's role in the integration processes of adult immigrants. I am affiliated with the Arctic Centre for Welfare and Disability Research (ASVF).

Research interests: Issues related to migration, integration, volunteerism, and gender.

Migration seminar: I lead an informal research network which is open to anyone at UiT who is studying migrationrelated issues. Get in touch for more information or to join.

Supervision: I supervise mainly theses related to questions on migration, integration, volunteerism or gender. Currently, I supervise two master theses (Master in Social Innovation and Welfare) and one doctoral project.

Teaching: I teach topics related to the social sciences at the Department of Social Education and its programmes Bachelor in Social Education and Master in Social Innovation and Welfare.
