About me
I am Professor of Science Education at the Department of Teaching and Learning. My research interests are centred around issues related to gender, identity and power in the context of teaching and learning science and technology. I am currently PI of the project "The unlikely scientists" (2019-2021) funded by the Swedish Research Council.
