Om mig
My research focuses on the history of medicine, curriculum studies, and visual/material culture in science and health education. I am currently working together with Eva Insulander (SU) on the research project "Collections and education: A historical study of the relation between schools and museums 1880-1980”, funded by the Swedish research council. My latest publications include articles on the use of objects and artifacts in education, female "teacher-scientists" in late 19th and early 20th century, and animal dissections in science education and vocational training of Swedish teachers c. 1900-1920.
