At the moment I am primarily occupied with knowledge and learning practices in the context of higher education and am studying changes and transformation of individual and collective educational landscapes that has to do with ostensibly global processes: for instance, international mobility among students, the emergence of a variety of (state and private) actors in higher education, corporate universities, regimes of knowledge, ideologies of knowledge, implications of market oriented governance of higher education. My studies are based on data collection and fieldwork in Sweden, Norway, Russia, India, UAE and Brazil.
Collaborative research
I am conducting several projects (Swedish Research Council)) on higher education and globalization together with Ulf Mellström at Karlstad University.
With researchers from Sweden, Norway and Northwest Russia I am part of the research network NORRUSS(Norwegian Research Council) in the project “Higher Education in the High North”, i.e. educational exchanges in the Arctic Barents Region.
With researchers at the Department of Media Technology and Information Design at the Royal Institute of Technology, we are running the project “Disabling technology?” (FORTE) where we focus on visualization technologies in a bilingual (hearing and Swedish Sign Language) workplace for media production.
