    Research interests

    Sami and indigenous issues in school and education

    Gender, power, and positions in indigenous studies

    The history of religions in Sápmi and Northern Norway

     

     

    Teaching

    I am in charge of teaching theory, methods/methodology and thesis writing. This means questioning and set the premises for knowledge about how and why we do research. This is also about the most practical sides of academic acts: How to find knowledge? How to write a text? How to communicate what we know?How can our research best be connected to communities?
