As a new professor emeritus I no longer have teaching. However, previously I taught a range of courses, primarily: Introduction to Archaeology, Archaeology eks.Fak. (philosophy of science/knowledge construction in archaeology), method course, history of archaeology/theory, circumpolar archaeology, north Fennoscandian Stone Age, global themes (i.e. human evolution, early agriculture, state societies, colonialism and world-systems), and hunter-gatherers.
I also advised several hovedfag/masters students and some PhD students.
