Bio

My research interests include religion, youth and education. I have specialized in religious education and religious didactics, and I am interested in controversial issues, citizenship, diversity, prejudice, racism, and politics. 

I completed a PhD in Religious Studies at the University of Stavanger (2010), as part of a larger international project, "Religion in Education - a Contribution to Dialogue or a Factor of Conflict in Transforming Societies in European Countries" (REDCo), funded by the EU 6th Framework Program. From 2012-2017 I was part of the European project "Religion and Dialogue in Modern Societies" (ReDi), working on how Norwegian schools dealt with the terrorist attack that hit Norway on July 22, 2011. 

In 2018-2021, I led the research project "School as Opportunity", funded by the Research Council of Norway, focusing on how religious and ethnic prejudices are perceived and used among young people in diverse societies, and on the role of education in preventing hate speech and discrimination. I currently lead the research group “Researching and teaching controversial topics”at UiB.

Since 2019, I have been chair of the board of the international research school Religion, Values, Society (RVS), funded by the Research Council of Norway, and academic advisor to the Holberg Prize School Program (2019-2023). 

For more than twenty years, I have worked with religious studies and teacher education, and have developed and taught at all levels of higher education. I have also supervised several master's and doctoral projects.

My publications include articles, chapters and edited books and journals. From 2018-2021 I was one of three editors of the journal DIN - tidsskrift for religion og kultur
