I work on a project about multigenerational global climate justice activism, political and educational change for sustainability and the role of science and the university in this transformation.

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.

Research interests include:

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
