Tove I. Dahl


Job description

I am an educational psychologist who delights in learning, motivation, language and culture.  I am particularly interested in how we grow when outside the classroom, be it on our own, in particular situations or places, while enjoying the outdoors or traveling, or in interaction with people from other cultures.  Consistent throughout my career has been my focus on the special place language and literacy have in our lives -- for information, pleasure, insight and connection.  Most recently, though, my focus has been on the nature of interest, courage and adventure with an eye on how they can provide new perspectives on learning.

Learn more about our EPIC research group that I belong to.
