My main research interest is learning through visual representations in the social sciences. In my research I investigate the relationship between how a subject content is visually illustrated and how students understand the content visualised. I am also interested in the relationship between the design of a visual representation and what teaching-learning practices are established in the classroom and thereby what learning is made possible.

During 2020-2023 I led a three-year research project focusing on how students understand different visual models used in social science teaching and how teaching could be designed in order to facilitate for students to develop their visual literacy in social science.

From the autumn of 2024, I am also leading a three-year research project funded by the Swedish Institute for Educational Research, focusing on how teaching based on visual models of sustainability can be designed to support students' learning of complex relationships in sustainability issues. The project focuses on social studies and natural sciences.

From the autumn of 2024, I am also involved in driving a three-year research project with a focus on religious studies and psychology education. In this project, we explore the opportunities and challenges that arise when teaching addresses topics perceived as "life-relevant" by students, and how the interaction between the student and a life-relevant/existentially relevant subject matter can be handled wisely in education. This project is also funded by the Swedish Institute for Educational Research.

Another research interest is the ability to analyse in social science. I have been involved in and led several studies focusing on this particular ability.
