Research

I completed my dissertation, Constructive Conflict in Classrooms and Beyond, in June 2021. I am currently writing articles based this work.

Additionally, I research how university teachers work with (and ignore) academic writing in disciplinary courses.

Teaching and Language Advising

I currently work as an academic language and writing advisor in English at the Unit for Academic Language and Writing (ASK), University of Gothenburg.

I previously taught two courses at the Department of Education and Special Education, including PDG085: Children’s Rights and Realities and PDG081: Conflict Resolution in Pre-schools and Schools. I have also taught in several courses at the School of Global Studies such as IR111, IR1121, and GS1115.
