Teaching
During the last years, I have been responsible at Stockholm University for ten university courses about democracy, sustainability, education and social relations, often using multimodality, especially arts/drama education as didactic tools. At the department for youth studies I was responsible for the course about learning how to do academic research and about social relations.
Now, I am responsible for the courses UB215Z and UB211Z within the teachers education program.
Research
Theories about the transformation of society into a sustainable one, and the role of young people in this transformation in times of the ecological and climate crisis
Theories of democracy, youth participation, and the relation between social, ecological and economic sustainablity
Theories about the concept of "value", mirrored in children´s literature and film
Theories of empathy, compassion and "being humane" (from neuropsychology to political philosophy)
Research in teaching methods (school, university): arts education, role play, drama
Education
PhD in political philosophy/applied theatre, a Master in (drama-)education (Stockholms universitet) and a Magister in philosophy and theatre/filmstudies (Freie Universität Berlin). During two years, I was research fellow at Ecole normale supérieure in Paris (Bourdieu, Badiou). Earlier, I taught at the universities of Basel and FU Berlin.
