I am a senior lecturer at the Department of Teaching and Learning, Stockholm University, and have been teaching in Higher Education since 2001.

I received my Ph.D. in Language Education from Stockholm University in 2018 with the thesis Teachers' conversations about writing assessment: Norms, pedagogical decisions and grading [link]. Prior to that, I was a guest lecturer at the Department of Language Education, Stockholm University, and at the Teacher Training College in Stockholm. I have a background as an upper secondary teacher in Swedish and German, and have taught in various programs, mainly in aesthetic and artistic education. 

I am the author of two books on writing-based teaching (both in Swedish): Writing-based teaching

–

 shaping a creative and intellectually challenging writing community[link] and Teaching writing

–

 in interplay with fiction and factional texts [link]. These books provide teachers with practical guidance in how writing can be used as a tool for thinking and learning regardless of school subject. They describe how writing can make students find their own voice and engage in dialogue with different topics and texts, think critically and develop a more scientific approach to their studies and their writing of subject-specific texts. The books also describe and discuss how assessments can be integrated into teaching and student learning.

My research focuses mainly on writing instruction, creativity and assessment in Upper Secondary School and in Higher Education. Two ongoing research projects are:

• Writing Cultures and Formative Assessment Practices in Upper Secondary School [link]
• Student's Academic Writing: Pedagogical Perspectives on Teacher Students' writing their degree thesis. 

I am on the steering committee for SKRiDi - a Nordic Network for Researchers in Writing in Education [link]
