About me
I started working in mathematics teacher education January 2003 after a long professional life as a teacher in compulsory school. With my teacher degree from 1985, I continued developing my professional skills. Alongside my teacher work, I studied for a master degree in intercultural education. I graduated in 2001. I finished my PhD 2010 and today I'm professor in mathematics education.
I have supervised PhD Jöran Petersson (defence 2017) and PhD Petra Svensson Källberg (defence 2018), both within the same research field as myself, multilingual issues in mathematics classrooms. Both of them work at Malmö University. Since 2015, I have also been interested in how newly arrived students are constructed in the teaching of mathematics, and what opportunities for meaning making are offered to them. I've supervised Dr Gosia Marschall, who did a study on mathematics teacher education. She had her defense in October 2021 and today she has a lecuture postition at Cambridge University, UK.
I was second supervisor to PhD-student Anna Wallin, since autumn 2016. Anna did a study on mathematics in 'Fritidshem' [an after school concept in school] and finalized her studies in May 2022. Kristin Westerholm, studied the assessment support for mathematics in first grade. She graduated for a licentiat degree in June 2024.
Today, I'm supervising:
Laura Caligari, studying multilingaul students and word problems in mathematics (second supervisor)
Harita Raval, studying noticing in mathematics teacher education in India and in Sweden.
Hissan Yunus, studying mathematical competencies in relation to pre service teachers teaching of mathematics
Kristofer Sidenvall at Dalarna University who studies approximation in online teacher education.
Maria Kelloniemi, who is involved in the subject didactic reaserch school. She is studying multlingual issues in mathematics classrooms.

I lecture on multilingualism and mathematics teaching in courses on undergraduate, master's and postgraduate education, as well as teacher in special needs education and tutor training. I also lecture on computer programming in mathematics classrooms (compulsory school).
My research focuses on mathematics education in multilingual mathematics classrooms. One premise is that students are used to learn in their mother tongue and that mother tongue will be a resource in their continuing mathematical learning. Another starting point is language development work in mathematics. My research interests concern multilingual students' opportunities to position themselves within discourses and how multilingual students take space and agency in the mathematics classroom. In the research I combine Foucault's discourse theory with Skovsmose’s critical mathematics education in order to analyze practices in the classroom. My project "Multilingual mathematics classrooms" is still running, and 2017- 2019 I have been involved in etnographic classroom studies in one grade level 2-3, and two grade level 4-5, learning mathematics on their second language.
Another interest of research is mathematics learning, digital tools and programming in mathematics education. From 2017 until 2020 I was one of the researchers in the project, Programming in subject didactics, with IFOUS. The third reserach interest is gender issues in mathematics education.
In the research on pupils learning in mathematics and ICT, a minor ethnographic study has been conducted in a preschool class with access to iPads (one-to-one). A book chapter has been published (2018). Since fall 2017, several conference papers have been written but also journal articles have been published from the Programming in subject didactics (IFOUS), together with colleagues at MND and DSV.
I was involved in an ERASMUS+ project, LaMaVoC which means "Language for Mathematics in Vocational Contexts". From 2017 to 2020 we develop and test an educational concept that prepare students for vocational training in commercial and technical professions. The main partners is Technical University of Dortmund (Germany) and the other partner is Freudentahl Insitute, Utrecht University (the Netherlands).
Since I have been involved in developing a systematic review of research on Dialouge in mathematics classroom at the School Research Institute, I have learned how teachers can work with classroom dialogs in mathematics classrooms.
